With Endeavor’s announcement of forming a over $21 billion live sports and entertainment company, consisting of WWE and UFC, a Twitter spat between two of its biggest stars including Paul Heyman and Conor McGregor had broken out last Monday. A day later, during an interview with Paul Heyman, the question of Conor McGregor came to prominence once again.
WWE legend Paul Heyman made a stark remark in the interview claiming that former UFC champion Conor McGregor might not even live to see his 57th birthday looking at his current lifestyle. It’s been widely reported that McGregor has been partying in various cities around the world including Ibiza, Dublin, and Rome, ever since he had his leg broken during a UFC fight against Dustin Poirier which ended in a defeat.
Ariel Helwani had a face to face interview with Paul Heyman on BT Sport where Heyman responded to McGregor calling him “Grampa” and threatening to break his jaw in three places. Roman Reigns manager said, "I'm not a grandfather, but I appreciate the fact that I'm old enough to be, number one. And that I'm still thriving on top. I would like to see if Conor McGregor at 57 is still thriving at the very top of his entire industry, number one. We'll see if he's even relevant at 57. We'll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle, number two."
As his number three point, Paul Heyman elaborated that he picked the fight on Twitter with Conor McGregor and opined on why the UFC star won’t ever be like Roman Reigns, “He, as a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman style, you know, title on each shoulder, and, you know, gave a shout out to himself, of course he did. You know, the ultimate self-promoter in Conor McGregor, you know, standing nine feet tall and weighing 155 pounds at five foot four.”
