The UFC and Liam Neeson are no longer becoming friends. The action star has now fired back heavily against the organisation and dissed mega-star Conor McGregor along the way.
Even at 70, Liam Neeson never tires of continuing to star in action films. Off sets, however, the star doesn’t mince words. In a new interview, he answered burning questions from the net. In the process, Neeson completely lashed out at the UFC and MMA icon Conor McGregor. If that doesn’t have consequences…

Liam Neeson disses Conor McGregor as a leprechaun
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter Neeson answered some questions from the network for Men’s Health. The magazine then published the most glaring statements in an article as a preview. The action star’s strongest roundabout attack was on the UFC, the world’s largest mixed martial arts organisation.
“I can’t stand UFC. It’s like a bar fight to me. I know practitioners say, ‘No, you’re wrong – the months of training we do…’ Why don’t you just grab a beer bottle and hit the other guy over the head? That’s the next level of UFC. I hate it. “
Neeson doesn’t leave it at that, though. The actor also heavily disses UFC icon Conor McGregor:
“That little leprechaun Conor McGregor gives Ireland a bad name. I know he’s fit and I admire him for that. But I can’t stand it. “
