Conor McGregor let a TMZ reporter have it and we don't mean in Conor McGregor mode - we mean in a genuinely p*ssed off, man-to-man way.
Back in December, McGregor was asked how he would fare in the octagon against Jesus. He answered like you'd probably expect him to.

Naturally, he copped a load of flak for saying he'd whoop Jesus Christ's ass.
Rafael dos Anjos was well p*ssed off with it, preachers were asking God to strike the Dubliner down - actually kill him.
On Thursday, McGregor came face to face with the same reporter again for the first time since he asked him about fighting Jesus.
McGregor was seemingly looking to walk by him until he was accused of slurring a "racially motivated" insult at Nate Diaz in the first press conference since the UFC 196 main card change was announced.
The featherweight champ reacted. He broke character.
The TMZ reporter was called an "idiot" and asked by McGregor: "Remember that Jesus thing you brought up? What a stupid question, man."
No wit, no grandeur, no character hiding his rebuff. Just genuine frustration.
