Conor McGregor has a fight on Saturday, but he still has time to poke fun at the WWE Universe.

During an appearance on "UFC Tonight" on Wednesday, McGregor was asked about his recent comments targeting the WWE roster. Despite inciting the wrath of several wrestlers, McGregor did not back down.

"It's been amusing watching all of these dweebs scutter around," McGregor said, according to Lewis Mckeever of Bloody Elbow. "They're flapping all over the place. They don't know what to do when a real man shows up and questions their...whatever it is that they do - I don't even know what it is they do.

"It is what it is; I'm laughing all the way to the bank with it. Let all them boys and all that WWE Universe tune in this Saturday at UFC 202."

"The Notorious" engaged in some pro-wrestling style antics himself on Wednesday, closing out his brief appearance at a press conference in Las Vegas by throwing bottles and cans at a departing Nate Diaz. The two meet in the main event of UFC 202, a rematch of their UFC 196 bout that Diaz won by submission.
