5 times Conor McGregor antagonized someone he had no chance against in a real fight 

#2. Brock Lesnar vs. Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor rants about Brock Lesnar.

Conor McGregor's charisma and gift of gab make him a perfect fit for the world of professional wrestling. But the outspoken UFC superstar addressed the possibility of one day making an appearance in the WWE in the most bizarre way.

McGregor was asked if he had any interest in crossing over into the squared circle. In classic McGregor action, a simple question was answered by a vicious rant:

"For the most part, those WWE guys are p***ies. To be honest, they’re messed up p***ies 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 f***ing eyeballs so how can I respect that?"

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

The comments came after Brock Lesnar made a successful return to the octagon against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. It was later revealed that he had failed a pair of drug tests.

Needless to say, 'The Beast Incarnate' was not too pleased with McGregor's jibes. In an interview with journalist Sam Roberts ahead of SummerSlam 2016, Lesnar fired back by saying:

"If Conor McGregor wants to say some s*** to me and get his name out there more than he already has, by dropping my name, I got about 10 f***ing words for him. Come here face-to-face Conor and say it to my face. Otherwise leave me and the f***ing WWE out of it because I came to your arena and kicked ass. Now if you want and you're so f***ing tough, come to our arena and try to kick some a**."

#1. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor

UFC 229: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is a classic UFC rivalry. The bad-blood feud began when the Irishman and a bunch of his crew invaded a UFC 223 media event to send a message to his rival.

Mayhem ensued when McGregor hurled a steel dolly through the window of a bus that was carrying Nurmagomedov and several other UFC fighters. The stunt landed McGregor a date in court and also kickstarted one of the most intense rivalries in the history of the promotion.

Nurmagomedov was understandably livid. In response to the attack, the Dagestani fighter blurted out one of the most iconic quotes in combat sports:

"Send me location."

Come fight night, a seething Nurmagomedov mercilessly went after his rival from the opening bell. It quickly became apparent that McGregor was outmatched and angering the champ certainly did him no favors.
