Paul Heyman Picks A Fight With Former UFC Champion
During an interview with BT Sport, Paul Heyman discussed his recent social media spat with UFC fighter Conor McGregor. Fightful has provided the following transcription:
I am still thriving on top. I would like to see if Conor McGregor, at 57, is still thriving at the very top of his entire industry. We'll see if he's even relevant, we'll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle. It's not that he tweeted to me, I picked the fight with him. He, as a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman style title on each shoulder and gave a shoutout to himself, of course, the ultimate self-promoter. Standing nine feet tall and weighing 155 pounds at five foot four.He's talking a good game. You're coming after the Wise Man? Even if he did come after me, what if I landed a lucky shot? Like the lucky shot he hit (Jose) Aldo with. Aldo clipped him and busted him open on a knockout punch he threw. What if I got a lucky punch? If he beats me up, who cares? I'm a 57 year old Wise Man. I'm a Jew boy from the Bronx. This is a tough fight for Conor McGregor? I don't see him picking a fight with Roman Reigns. Then again, little people do what little minds tell them to do, and that's okay. I like the little guy, he's funny to me. Like a clown. He's here for my amusement.
While there haven't been any confirmed crossovers between WWE and UFC, their incoming merger makes it a definite possibility. Fans will have to wait and see if Paul Heyman ever gets his match against the Notorious Conor McGregor.
