Current UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum is not a fan of the always outspoken UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. Werdum explained to Combate that he has had enough of him. According to Werdum, he would not stand for McGregor’s lash outs against him, and he would just hit him with a chair.
“If we’re even in the same place, I don’t want him saying anything to me or trying to do anything to me. 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?”
Werdum explained that McGregor crossed the line during his pre-fight press conference with Nate Diaz to promote UFC 196 with his line about Jesus, which caused a lot of backlash towards McGregor.
“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.”
Werdum is set to fight Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 198, in Curitiba, Brazil, on May 14. McGregor is set to fight at UFC 200.
