During his appearance on The Late Late Show, Conor McGregor claimed to have had the worst meeting with P. Diddy. Speaking about how the rapper barely shook hands and even refused to get a picture together, McGregor admitted that he wanted to hit the rapper. Now, the UFC champion is known for his single-shot power punches, so guess what would have happened if he had let out his intrusive thought?
“I was about to give him just a left to the chin. This is LA, isn’t it? You just go around meeting people. I’m just having fun. P. Diddy’s on the bottom of the list of people I wanted to meet, especially after finally meeting him.”

And considering the UFC champion’s desire to hit P. Diddy, it seems the rapper might have gotten a taste of brutal punch for his behavior at the 2014 game. But thankfully, nothing happened and the duo simply moved on with their mutual dislike for each other.
