UFC: Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone joke about animal rights group Peta hating their snakeskin attire
- Conor McGregor compliments Donald Cerrone’s python-skin suit as the pair joke about Peta hating them ahead of UFC 246
- McGregor: ‘we don’t want trouble with Peta although they’re a shady crowd as well, apparently’
Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone may be trading blows on the weekend but they both came to an unusual agreement over animal rights organisation Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
The pair answered questions at their UFC 246 pre-fight press conference on Thursday before Irishman McGregor turned to Cerrone to compliment his jet-black, snakeskin suit.
“That’s one hell of a coat, Donald, my god,” McGregor said, showing the inside of his suit jacket. “I gotta give credit where it’s due. I don’t know whether you’ve outdone me. I’ve got lions on the inside of my baby here, but that’s a damn good cobra, that. What is it, crocodile?”
Cerrone – who holds several UFC records including most wins, finishes and bonuses in its 26-year history – replied that it was made out of python skin.
“Peta might be here because I got rattlesnakes and python [on me],” joked Cerrone, gesturing to his trademark cowboy hat.
“Python, good man. [Peta] have a warrant out for me, they’re coming for me, too,” McGregor replied.
