5 Times WWE Superstars and UFC fighters called each other out

#2. Drew McIntyre also put Conor McGregor on notice for his comments towards WWE

Conor McGregor was put on notice by former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre for challenging Vince McMahon

A few months ago, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre tried to lure Conor McGregor into the pro wrestling industry after the latter had announced his retirement from Mixed Martial Arts yet again.

Taking to Instagram, McGregor posted a story about him potentially challenging WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in what the Irishman labeled a "CEO Flashmatch".

Here is the message sent by Drew McIntyre to Conor McGregor on Twitter:

Big man @TheNotoriousMMA picking a fight with ANOTHER 70 year old, you couldn’t drop a guy in a pub, you have no chance against Vince. You’re just the latest guy thinking he can have his PR team stick my title on his shoulder & walk into our world. Stick to whiskey McTapper https://t.co/kwgt0EKdAa

In response to the proposition made by The Notorious One, former WWE Champion McIntyre took to social media to remind McGregor of the infamous incident of him hitting an elderly man in a pub.

McIntyre further wrote that the Irishman wouldn't stand a chance against Vince McMahon and told the former UFC double champion to stick to his whiskey business. The WWE star took one final shot at McGregor by labeling him "McTapper" for Conor's submission losses to Nate Diaz and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
