Fabricio Werdum is not Conor McGregor’s biggest fan, it would appear.
The UFC heavyweight champion told Combate that he finds the Irishman’s antics disrespectful, referencing the press conference that saw McGregor snatch Jose Aldo’s belt in front of the cameras.
Werdum said that he already knows how he’d react if on the receiving end of a similar stunt.
“If we’re even in the same place, I don’t want him saying anything to me or trying to do anything to me,” he said. “I won’t just stand there. I’m not going to taunt him, but if he does, I will hit him with a chair, for real.
If he tries to snatch my belt, I would first have a go at Dana White. I would go crazy, like a thug. In a staredown, you never touch your opponent. Everything is already so tense and the guy goes and touches you?”
“Conor started out well, but then he went over the line, he started talking about Jesus. He just looks like a clown.
“In Brazil, we call them prostitutes, because they do anything for money. He’s a sellout. Of course it’s important to fight for money, but that guy will sell out for anything. I wouldn’t doubt he would sell out his ass. I wouldn’t do it.”
We doubt this is the last we’ll hear about this particular feud.
