Mark Henry On Conor McGregor: “There’s 50 Guys In That WWE Locker Room That Will Hand Him His Ass”
Shorty G gets a special mention...
At UFC 246 over the weekend, Conor McGregor defeated David Cerrone inside the first 40 seconds of the first round.
During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry was speaking about Conor turning into a professional wrestling heel to hype his fights.
The discussion soon turned to McGregor's comments about professional wrestling. Back in 2016, the Irishman tweeted: "I didn't mean no disrespect to the WWE fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's."

Henry said a catalogue of WWE Superstars would be able to put the former UFC Featherweight Champion in his place - reserving special mention for Shorty G: "I welcome any 140 pounds or less guy on the planet to come and slap my face. I will tear your skin off. AND I will hang your skin in my closet. There’s 50 guys in that WWE locker room that will hand him his ass. Just so y’all know. So don’t think for one second that a 140-pound dude is going to go in there and survive against Braun Strowman. I would say that Chad Gable would rake him over the coals. Chad Gable will have him screaming for his mommy.”
