According to The Sun, WWE recently reached out to UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and presented him a huge offer, which the Superstar refused.

A source told The Sun, “WWE has made no secret of its desire to do something with Conor McGregor and there were talks between the two parties about this year”. “Because he’s taking time off from the UFC, there was a talk about doing something at this year’s Wrestlemania in April, but it wasn’t to be despite a hefty offer.”

”The Game” Triple H admitted on public record that he would be interested in having McGregor make some WWE appearances when he attended UFC 205 last November at The Garden.

“He [McGregor] could come over, he’s got it all, man – he’s got the personality, the skills, the talk. He’s an entertainer, for sure,” HHH told The Telegraph. “What does he walk around at? 180lbs? I have smaller guys now in the WWE. We have 200lb guys who are stars. You don’t need to be 300lbs any more.”

“He could do just as well as Floyd Mayweather when he fought the Big Show. That really worked. Conor could do it for sure.”

Conor McGregor pushed the buttons of many professional wrestlers when he ripped the business in August 2016 while promoting UFC 202, where he emerged victorious over Nate Diaz in the marquee bout of the night.

He said that some WWE guys are not right in the head, and that the ”new era stars” are “dweebs.” He added that the old school guys – like ”The Nature Boy” Ric Flair – are legends and called the McMahons “Dons.”

“The rest are dweebs,” McGregor said. “What’s the main guy? John Cena. He’s 40, he’s 40 years of age. He’s walking around in a illuminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about [how] no one can see him. We can see him right there, he’s a big fat 40 year old failed Mr. Olympia motherf–ker! They’re dweebs, those guys!”

]]> Brock Lesnar Handed USADA Punishment, USADA Issues Statement /brock-lesnar-handed-usada-punishment-usada-issues-statement/ Thu, 05 Jan 2017 08:40:35 +0000 /?p=2151 Read more]]> The Nevada Athletic Commission already handed down their punishment for former UFC Heavyweight Champion ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar. Now, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has done the same. USADA gave Lesnar a one-year suspension for his use of banned substances prior to his bout against Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

Lesnar originally won the contest, but that result was reversed to a ‘no-contest’ after the failed test. His NAC suspension runs retroactive for a year from July 9, while the USADA suspension began July 15.

USADA statement regarding Lesnar is as under:-

“USADA announced today that UFC athlete, Brock Lesnar, of the Brooklyn Park, M.N., received a one-year sanction, pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, after testing positive for a prohibited substance on two occasions.
“Lesnar, 39, tested positive for clomiphene and its metabolite, 4-hydroxyclomiphene, following an out-of-competition urine test conducted on June 28, 2016, and an in-competition urine test conducted on July 9, 2016, at UFC 200 in Las Vegas, Nev. Clomiphene is a prohibited substance in the category of Hormone and Metabolic Modulators and is prohibited at all times under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, which has adopted the WADA Prohibited List.
“Lesnar’s one-year period of ineligibility began on July 15, 2016, the date on which he was provisionally suspended by USADA, and is identical in length to the sanction imposed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on December 15, 2016. In addition, the NSAC overturned Lesnar’s victory at UFC 200 to a no-contest.
“Pursuant to the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, all UFC athletes serving a period of ineligibility for an anti-doping policy violation are required to remain in the USADA registered testing pool and make themselves available for testing in order to receive credit for time served under his or her sanction. Furthermore, if an athlete retires during his or her period of ineligibility, the athlete’s sanction will be tolled until such time the athlete notifies USADA of his or her return from retirement and once again makes him or herself available for no-advance-notice, out-of-competition testing.
“USADA conducts the year-round, independent anti-doping program for all UFC athletes. USADA is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental agency whose sole mission is to preserve the integrity of competition, inspire true sport, and protect the rights of clean athletes. In an effort to aid UFC athletes, as well as their support team members, in understanding the rules applicable to them, USADA provides comprehensive instruction on the UFC Anti-Doping Program website regarding the testing process and prohibited substances, how to obtain permission to use a necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements as well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs. In addition, the agency manages a drug reference hotline, Drug Reference Online, conducts educational sessions, and proactively distributes a multitude of educational materials, such as the Prohibited List, easy-reference wallet cards, and periodic athlete alerts.”

Amanda Nunes decimated Ronda Rousey at UFC 207 as she defeated Ronda in 48 seconds.

The fight was stopped by referee Herb Dean as Nunes bombed Rousey with a barrage of punches to the face.

This is Ronda’s second straight knockout loss and it was crystal clear that she is not in her best shape. Many sources over the internet claim that Ronda might be going in the direction of retirement. For Rousey it will not be such an easy decision to walk out of the pentagon forever.

]]> The Rock Considered Joining UFC! /the-rock-considered-joining-ufc/ Fri, 24 Jun 2016 03:07:22 +0000 /?p=1707 Read more]]> Long before CM Punk even considered a career in UFC, and a full two years prior to Brock Lesnar making his UFC Debut, Dwayne The Rock Johnson had his eye on Ultimate Fighting Championship.

He described to Matt Serra and Jim Norton on UFC Unfiltered that UFC is “the toughest fucking sport in the world.”
He said –

“There was a time there where I thought, man, I achieved everything I wanted to achieve in WWE, my movie career is floundering a little bit, what do I do? I was relatively still young, I think I was 34. I thought, oh well maybe UFC. Maybe I should do something like that. In my head, I felt like it was at least a two-year process for me to even get in the [cage], let alone the UFC. I wasn’t quite too sure what to do or what kind of people to put around me at the time, so the idea kind of fizzled out and I continued to stay on the path of movie making. Anybody, by the way, who is successful in one area and then commits to MMA, I just feel like it’s the toughest fucking sport in the world. I always take my hat off to those guys. Still a big fan and love the sport. But at one time, I did consider it.”

Johnson has been a longtime fan of UFC and can usually be spotted cageside at some of the top PPVs.

Do you think he should have joined UFC?
