Liam Neeson 'can't stand' the UFC and slammed star fighter Conor McGregor — find out why.

“I’d say the Guinness Factory, actually,” he revealed. “There’s a couple more I’m going to do this year — hopefully, COVID allowing us — there’s a couple in the pipeline and, then I think that will probably be it,” he When asked if he’d rather return to his boxing gig or his job as a Guinness factory worker, he chose the latter. He went on to diss the 34-year-old mixed martial arts champ. He was responding to a fan question who noted Neeson’s boxing history and wondered if Neeson enjoyed the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Conor McGregor. And I know the practitioners all say, ‘No, you’re wrong!

Conor McGregor isn't flavor of the month with Liam Neeson, and the veteran actor has made his feelings about him and UFC clear.

Beyond that, though, the plot seems to follow the original, with Dalton soon discovering that “not everything is what it seems in this tropical paradise.” Although the original movie didn’t gain the greatest reviews, the film has gone on to become a cult movie with a dedicated following who will undoubtedly be looking for a punch-up if the movie doesn’t do right by the original. While putting down the sport with a couple of swift jabs, he also took a swing at McGregor, who he clearly isn’t a huge fan of either. One person who it seems won’t be watching is Hollywood veteran [Liam Neeson](https://movieweb.com/person/liam-neeson/), who recently took aim at McGregor and UFC, saying that the fighter “gives Ireland a bad name.”

If you didn’t know, Neeson played Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace, so he likely learnt a few mind tricks while filming. During his days as an amateur boxer he won a number of regional titles and we all know how well exhibition fights to these days… That to me is like a bar fight. [Liam Neeson had some choice words](https://www.givemesport.com/88111968-conor-mcgregor-liam-neeson-ufc-mma-latest-news) to say about former [UFC](https://www.givemesport.com/ufc) champion [Conor McGregor](https://www.givemesport.com/conor-mcgregor).

Liam Neeson has called out UFC icon Conor McGregor as a "little leprechaun" who gives their home country of Ireland a terrible reputation.

While Liam Neeson did admit to admiring fellow Irishman Conor McGregor, his comments can’t help but conjure up what would certainly be the greatest pay-per-view gimmick fight in history (which McGregor knows plenty about, sparring with Floyd Mayweather for a big fat paycheck back in 2017). Liam Neeson has now singled out famed UFC icon and stupid tattoo connoisseur Conor McGregor as someone who, by way of mixed martial arts, is giving a bad name to the Irish. McGregor, meanwhile, has talked of retirement from professional fighting for some time.
