Guida wants to send Conor McGregor 'back to the potato-picking country he came from'

GLASGOW, Scotland – Arguing alongside Cub Swanson against a brash fan at today’s UFC fan Q&A in Scotland, Clay Guida (32-15 MMA, 12-9 UFC) had strong words for the newly minted interim champ Conor McGregor.

“We’re going to send him back to the potato-picking country he came from,” said the veteran UFC featherweight, getting a rise out of the crowd.

Swanson (21-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC), whose own history with McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) isn’t the rosiest, was a little less harsh but still took exception when the fan talked up McGregor’s title-winning performance over Chad Mendes (17-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) at this past Saturday’s UFC 189.

“(Jose) Aldo’s going to beat him,” Swanson said. “Probably he’ll quit.”
