UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor doubled down on his statements against WWE performers, tweeting that he would "slap the head off" the entire roster.

After taking a few moments on this past week’s UFC 202 conference call to throw some expletives the way of most of the WWE roster, featherweight champ Conor McGregor clarified his statements.
Or, rather, he doubled down on his trash talk.

“I didn’t mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans,” McGregor tweeted. “What I meant to say was that I’d slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday’s.”

McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rematches Nate Diaz (19-10 MMA, 14-8 UFC) in the UFC 202 pay-per-view welterweight main event Aug. 20 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Diaz scored a second round submission of McGregor in the first outing, a result many pro wrestlers who responded on social media were quick to point out.

WWE legend Ric Flair eviscerates Conor McGregor on Twitter

Conor McGregor, like all combat athletes, only has a limited amount of time to fight in the octagon before he either declines in skill or decides to not put his health at risk. Many people have speculated that McGregor - a larger than life character - could one day make a move to the WWE, where he could likely earn a huge paycheck in a less risky line of work.

When someone asked McGregor about the prospect of becoming a pro wrestler, though, the UFC champ insulted the performers on the WWE roster in a profane rant.

"For the most part, those WWE guys are (expletive). To be honest, they're messed up (expletive) if you ask me. Fair play to Brock, he got in a fight but at the end of the day he's juiced up to the (expletive) eyeballs so how can I respect that?"

McGregor later clarified that he meant he could "slap the head off" the WWE roster. A number of current and former WWE stars, from Roman Reigns to Kurt Angle, called out McGregor for his comments, but the strongest response of all came from Hall of Famer Ric Flair.
Ziggler, if you're wondering, had 121 wins as a wrestler at Kent State, which was a record at the time.
