Conor McGregor and Paul Heyman get into a verbal scuffle online

Fans know Conor McGregor for his active social media presence. He took to Twitter and posted a picture of him holding both the UFC title and the WWE title on both shoulders and wrote that it was inevitable that he’d become champion in both promotions. WWE’s Paul Heyman took notice of it and replied to the tweet: “[Conor McGregor] is a [Roman Reigns] Wannabe.”

‘Notorious’ didn’t hold back and threatened to break the jaw of the Wiseman ‘Wise Man’ and called him a ‘Grampa’. This prompted many reactions from the fans on social media as they warned Heyman of the dangers of messing with the biggest UFC star in history. But Paul Heyman seems unfazed. He shared his thoughts about McGregor in a recent interview with the famous Ariel Helwani.

The ‘Wise Man’ to the ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns slammed Conor McGregor and claims that he isn’t as relevant as Paul Heyman has been, even at the age of 57. He said, “I am still thriving on top. I’d like to see Conor McGregor at 57, is still thriving at the very top of his entire industry.” Heyman added, “Let’s see if he’s even relevant at 50. Let’s see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle.” 

Heyman also mentioned that the Twitter scuffle began because he chose to poke McGregor. He said, “It’s not that he [McGregor] tweeted to me. I picked the fight with him.” He added, “He is a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman-style title on each shoulder and gave a shout out to himself.” 

Conor McGregor has not had his best run in the UFC lately. But if he decides to come to WWE could be one of the biggest box-office attractions ever. The possibilities are endless after the WWE-UFC merger. Fans will have to wait and see what follows.
