UFC star Conor McGregor is called ‘The Notorious’ for a reason. You would agree once you come across his social media interactions. However, he is not always the only one picking the fight. For around the past month, known WWE stars and McGregor have been taking shots at each other. We can’t overlook any part of it because Endeavor’s deal has merged UFC and WWE and the stars can take their feuds to the arena any time down the line.

Another WWE superstar has recently made an advancement on McGregor by calling him out. Dolph Ziggler’s tweet will resonate not only with his fans but with UFC fans as well. This is because he called out McGregor for something he is known for doing.

Ziggler wrote on Twitter, “How much weight would I have to cut, to fight McGregor?” Here, he talks about the weight cuts that McGregor is known for. Some even call the MMA-wide weight cuts as ‘sanctioned cheating’. The Irishman has made several such cuts spanning throughout his career.
