Conor McGregor has always taken a jibe at professional wrestling. He has done this in his interviews, at UFC Press Conferences, and on social media several times. However, recently, during banter between a UFC fighter and a top pro wrestler, The Notorious’ name was used in a hilarious way.

 It seems the two stars want to settle their dispute in the ring or octagon. However, even though McGregor’s name was used he, hasn’t responded to the same.

MJF calls Paddy Pimblett a “Dollar store Conor McGregor”

A few days ago, AEW announced going to the United Kingdom to do a show next year. It seems this has sparked the interest of UFC Fighter Paddy Pimblett to enter the squared circle or have an MMA vs Pro-wrestling match. Therefore, ‘The Baddy’ took a shot at Maxwell Jacob Friedman by commenting on an MJF interview video clip on Instagram.

MJF shared the screenshots of their chats on Instagram in the comment section. The AEW World Champion wrote, “See you around “baddy”.”

Pimblett started the banter by taking a shot at pro wrestling and calling Friedman to UFC for a ‘real’ MMA fight. Further, the UFC fighter also said MJF to tell Tony Khan to sign him when AEW comes to ‘Fulham ground.’ The AEW star replied saying when AEW comes to the UK, he’ll surely pay Pimblett a visit tagging Tony Khan and Dana White.

 However, The Baddy calling MJF ‘Spaceman’ said, “I’ve just told u straight when yous come to Fulham ground (craven cottage) get your boss [Tony khan] message my boss [Dana White] and see what we can sort because I know full well you won’t pass a USADA drug test to fight in the [UFC].”

Friedman wrote a savage reply by calling him, Conor McGregor.

 

They might resolve their beef in the ring at the AEW UK show. MJF also took a jibe at Pimblett’s grammar by posting the following tweet, “Grammar off cuz I’m talking shit to this clown while going 100mph on the stair master”

MJF hints at appearing at UFC 286 in December

Pimblett fights Jared Gordon on December’s UFC 282 main card next month. MJF, who won the AEW World Title last week, hints at being present at the event to confront Paddy the Baddy. He told ESPN recently, “I wouldn’t be shocked if the AEW world champion shows up on Dec. 10 in Vegas.”

Furthermore, he gave a fitting reply to Pimblett’s insulting pro wrestling. He said, “I’m sick and tired of people talking about pro wrestling as if it’s some f-cking stunt show. The fact of the matter is Paddy ‘The Prima Donna’ Pimblett would not last two seconds in a professional wrestling ring with me. Maybe not even one.”

After all these words between the AEW star and UFC Fighter, all eyes are on them. If MJF shows up at UFC 282, the internet will crash. However, as of now we only have seven words for this beef, ‘Do it, Tony Khan, and Dana White’.
