Conor McGregor receives a dire warning from WWE legend associated with Roman Reigns
Conor McGregor has received a threat from Roman Reigns' special counsel, Paul Heyman.
'The Notorious' recently sat down for an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. Following the episode, Helwani took to Twitter to share a picture with the former UFC double champion. In the picture, McGregor is seen holding a WWE Money in the Bank briefcase.
In the caption, Helwani questioned whether Conor McGregor's next stop was WWE WrestleMania in reference to him holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. Upon seeing the post, Paul Heyman was quick to respond to the MMA reporter and claimed that 'The Notorious' would get "smashed" if he tried to go up against Roman Reigns. Heyman said:
".@TheNotoriousMMA would get SMASHED just like anyone else who dares to oppose the #TribalChief @WWERomanReigns!"

Conor McGregor opens up on the injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier
Conor McGregor was last seen in action back in July 2021 in a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier. Going into the fight, McGregor was keen to put an end to his rivalry against 'The Diamond'.
Instead, the Irishman ended up suffering a nasty leg break. The injury has been the main reason for McGregor's absence from the UFC. During the same episode of The MMA Hour, 'The Notorious' opened up about his injury and how he felt like he might have to call it quits in his MMA career:
"At the time, I thought, you know? Maybe I won't be able to do this again for sure, that was in my thoughts. Was I thinking of not making the walk ... if I was in a fu*king chair? Never. I was actually, you know, where there's a will, there's a way Ariel. If you're willing, you're able."

Conor McGregor has since recovered from his injury. The Irishman is also set to return to the octagon later this year in a bout against Michael Chandler.
