Wanderlei Silva is not a fan of Conor McGregor. The PRIDE legend is disgusted by the comments McGregor made over Jesus earlier this month and believes the Irishman was lucky to beat Jose Aldo at UFC 194.
Prior to his showdown with "Scarface", McGregor jokingly claimed he'd "whoop" Jesus' *** if he were still alive today in an interview with TMZ.
"Me versus Jesus in the Octagon? I tell you what, there's not a man alive that can beat me," McGregor said. "But Jesus ain't alive so I don't f---ing know. Maybe he can come back from the dead, I don't know. I'd still whoop his ***."
"The Axe Murderer" took McGregor's comments seriously and exploded in a Facebook video.
"
And this promotion, if they don't give (Aldo) the immediate rematch, we will criticize them,
" Silva said. "
How? Everybody saw it was an accident, this a--hole was lucky. And when I meet this guy, for everything he said about Jesus, I will slap this motherf--ker in the face. You can't do that. You can't play with our God. When I meet you, raise your hand because you're getting slapped in the face, you punk.
"
Since parting ways with the UFC, Silva has been extremely critical of their conduct and accused the promotion of fixing fights in July. The former PRIDE middleweight champion left the company on bad grounds after evading a drug test in 2014. Wanderlei received a lifetime ban by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, but the ruling was overturned earlier in May.
