Conor McGregor will fight Nate Diaz at UFC 202, having pulled out of the same fight at UFC 200 having become frustrated at the commercial obligations 'the company' had put upon him, claiming they were hampering his pre-fight preparations.
McGregor has now landed in Vegas ahead of the rematch, and held a media day yesterday, presumably assured in his own mind that preparations had gone well.
He used the opportunity to rant about the WWE once again, branding John Cena a "dweeb" and a "big, fat failed Mr. Olympian fucker", whatever that means. The complaint was part of a broader point that UFC is real, as opposed to WWE, which is admittedly not the most explosive insight.

McGregor has been mouthing off about the WWE for a while, a week ago calling them all "pussies", before clarifying his views with a tweet:
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.

The above will be taken as further proof of McGregor's remarkable power as a marketer, to insert his name into a massive audience that already exists. He is now doing this with the WWE, having previously done so with Floyd Mayweather, as our own Gavan Casey has explained in great detail here.
