Brock Lesnar dares UFC champion Conor McGregor to enter WWE lion’s den [poll, video]

WWE star Brock Lesnar has issued an open challenge to UFC's Conor McGregor to get in the WWE ring.

Brock Lesnar has dared Conor McGregor to walk his talk by challenging the UFC featherweight champion to come to the WWE.

Brock Lesnar is the latest WWE star to respond to the shots fired by Conor McGregor who drew the ire of several WWE stars recently. McGregor declared earlier this August that he could ‘slap the head’ of the entire roster and now he is being dared to do so.

Lesnar is no stranger to both the UFC and the WWE. He fought at UFC 200 and won over Mark Hunt though such was shrouded with some drug-related controversy.

Lesnar is officially signed with the WWE but is apparently not letting McGregor’s insults pass. And to prove his point, he has dared McGregor to get in a WWE ring with him and prove that he can really handle the rigors of an actual match, Sam Roberts reported.

Before Lesnar, WWE personalities that included Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, and Ric Flair came out in the open to speak their mind. Even a former WWE star, Kurt Angle, made it known that he wanted a piece of the Irishman.

McGregor is no stranger to stirring up controversy. Many felt that “The Notorious” was simply grabbing attention for his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz.

The UFC featherweight champion did come out and avenge his UFC 196 loss to Diaz via decision and now he may have to face the reality of dealing with an angry WWE mob.

“If Conor McGregor wants to say some sh-t to me and get his name out there more than he already has, by dropping my name, I got about 10 f–king words for him. Come here face-to-face Conor and say it to my face. Otherwise, leave me and the f–king WWE out of it because I came to your arena and kicked ass,” Lesnar said in the interview by podcaster Sam Roberts transcribed by Fansided.

Despite McGregor’d dish, there are some who feel that this could be a sign of things to come. That includes seeing the Irishman in the WWE ring though only as a sideshow. If so, he will be the next UFC star following Ronda Rousey who appeared at Wrestlemania 31.

While that is possible, it will be interesting if UFC president Dana White would allow it unless a special agreement involving millions of dollars is tied up to it.
