Baron Corbin and Conor McGregor are both well-versed and talented athletes in their respective sports industries. Both the superstars have their own skill sets and fighting techniques as per their fields. It would be unfair to judge both of them based on their performances in different spheres of combat sports.

However, WWE legend Taz once gave his stance on what would happen if The Lone Wolf and The Notorious ever come face to face. Spoiler Alert — he said, it would not turn out well for The Irishman.

Taz spoke highly of Baron Corbin

The Former ECW champion in 2017 spoke to TMZ and said that he believes the former NFL star will dominate the Fighting Irish if both superstars ever step inside a ring. He primarily gave the 285-pounder’s giant stature as the reason for his answer. He believes that Corbin’s height may give him an advantage over Mystic Mac.

Calling the WWE star “a bad man,” Taz stated the 2017 Mr. Money in the Bank would easily “put McGregor in a hospital.” The American radio personality further added that the 38-year-old wrestler is “younger, more aggressive,” and “five times the size along with some speed and quickness.” “He’s a big man, and he’s put together.” He’s a young, angry guy,” said the longtime wrestling commentator.

Taz went on to say, “Look, no disrespect to McGregor. He’s a badass MMA guy, I know that. McGregor is a tremendous marketer, promoter, just like Mayweather. That’s why they’re millionaires. McGregor needs to be in WWE. The problem is, he’s really a small guy.”

Several years ago, McGregor had something negative to say about WWE wrestlers. During a press conference, the Unicorn made fun of the WWE wrestlers by calling them “messed up pu**ies” while giving his fans updates about his rematch with Nate Diaz.

When approached about his take on McGregor’s insulting statement toward WWE wrestler, the Raw brand star responded in a radio interview, saying he would like to get his hands on the GOAT. “He’s like 165 pounds, 185 pounds soaking wet. So, I would like to slam him on his head a few times,” said Corbin.

The Lone Wolf was not the only one who was pissed with the Silverback insulting WWE superstars. The McJacked insult also pissed Stone Cold. In an interview, Austin called out people who don’t respect WWE and asked them to train in a different town every day like the WWE wrestlers, in order to make them realize what WWE stars have to go through.
