"A little up his own a*s" - When Conor McGregor joked about wanting to beat up P. Diddy after meeting him for the first time
UFC superstar Conor McGregor met P. Diddy in Los Angeles in 2014 and the two posed together for pictures. However, it appears their meeting wasn't all pleasant, with the Irishman wanting to throw hands on the iconic American rapper.
In 2014, McGregor made an appearance on the popular Irish program The Late Late Show with host Ryan Tubridy. During his interview, the host asked McGregor about him running into P. Diddy while in Los Angeles. Tubridy also pulled up a picture of the two posing for a picture with former UFC champ Michael Bisping.
Tubridy then asked McGregor if the music mogul asked him for a photo or if it was the other way around. The UFC superstar replied:
"P. Diddy's a little up his own a**, to be honest. We were at a college football game - UCLA. But he is, you know, he didn't even want to get in the picture. He barely shook my hand. I was about to give him just a left to the chin."
He continued:
"This is LA, isn't it? You just go around meeting people. I'm just having fun. P. Diddy's on the bottom of the list of people I wanted to meet, especially after finally meeting him."
