Conor McGregor is a well-known name in combat sports. The former dual-weight class UFC champion has broken records in and out of the octagon. Recently, WWE superstar Sheamus took shots at McGregor, saying he could take McGregor on.
In a YouTube clip posted by TMZ, Stephen Farrelly, better known as Sheamus, spoke about his fellow countryman. The interviewer met Sheamus at an airport and asked him, “Can you kick Conor McGregor’s a**?”
Sheamus answered, saying, “I can kick anybody’s ass. Anybody’s a**.” The interviewer then asked him about fellow Irishman McGregor. Sheamus replied, “Of course. Drink… good Guinness drinkers and good a** kickers. You know what I mean?”

Sheamus Talks Conor McGregor Joining WWE
In a 2021 interview with Digital Spy, Sheamus responded to the rumors regarding McGregor joining the WWE.
Sheamus said, “He’s teased a couple of times.” He added, “He’s still staying active, he’s a lad who’s won belts, he’s done a lot, so I think he’s that type of person who’s always trying to try his hand at something different.”
Sheamus also explained why, according to him, WWE would “suit” McGregor. He said, “I think WWE would suit him down to the ground. You know, we’ve had a lot of people come in and out, Mayweather came in, a lot of celebrities have come in, a lot of sports people. So I don’t think anyone would raise eyebrows if he came in to WWE. I don’t think it’s if, I think it’s a matter of when to be honest.”

Sheamus also said that he would be happy to help his fellow countryman if he ever chooses to move to WWE. He felt that a change in environment could benefit McGregor.
According to Sheamus, the hardest part about the transition would be getting used to the intensive schedule of the WWE athletes. Unlike UFC, athletes in WWE fight weekly, and according to him, there is more competition in WWE.
