UFC's Conor McGregor on 'Diddy': 'I was about to just give him a left to the chin'

Don’t expect UFC featherweight contender Conor McGregor to join the Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Diddy fan club anytime soon.

The fast-rising prospect, who dominated Diego Brandao in UFC Fight Night 45’s headliner this past month, was a recent guest on “The Late, Late Show” in Ireland with host Ryan Tubridy.

Although the conservation focused heavily on his big win (which took place in his native Ireland), the UFC, martial arts and his wardrobe, he shared a story about a recent meeting with “Diddy.” It was less than complimentary, and McGregor said he was tempted to deliver the rapper/actor/entrepreneur “a left to the chin.”

It seemed to get a vote of confidence from UFC President Dana White, who posted the clip on Instagram (watch it above).

McGregor (15-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is back in action on Sept. 27, when he meets fellow featherweight Dustin Poirier (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) – arguably his toughest UFC test to date – on UFC 178’s pay-per-view main card.

“His chin is deteriorating,” McGregor recently said of Poirier. “Every single contest he gets in, he hits one knee. A gust of wind, and he does the chicken dance. Coming up against me, that’s not going to be good.

“I’m going to crack him with a jab and he’s going to wobble, and I’m going to put him away early. It’s going to be a first-round KO. Mark my words.”
