5. Goldberg Talks About Conor McGregor Disrespecting Pro Wrestlers
During a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, former WWE & WCW World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg was asked about UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor’s disrespectful comments towards Pro Wrestlers. Below is what Goldberg said:
“First and foremost he’s trying to get some publicity. All I can say, is when I was in the business back in the day, if he had said that, there were a number of guys leaving him in a pool of blood because some of the guys that I tangled with , guys who taught me what I know, were not guys to mess around with and I personally believe there’s some guys around now who could do it but they’ve just chosen professional wrestling to be their endeavour. Just because they’re not doing it, doesn’t mean they couldn’t be good at it.”
McGregor won his UFC 202 fight against Nate Diaz and earned the biggest disclosed payday in UFC history ($3 million, beating Brock Lesnar’s UFC 200 record of $2.5 million payday).
