Conor McGregor once admitted he wanted to punch P Diddy.
The UFC superstar fessed up about almost decking rap mogul P Diddy during a past run-in. The bombshell comes amidst Diddy’s current legal turmoil, facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, which have seen him chucked behind bars – Sean denies all the allegations made against him.
While speaking on ‘The Late Late Show’ in 2014, McGregor cast his mind back to the encounter back in October 2013. After meeting the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker, McGregor posted a snap alongside Diddy and UFC champ Michael Bisping cheekily captioned: “Me, P. Diddy and Big Mike! ! ! .”

Yet, when the show’s host quizzed the cage fighter about meeting Diddy, McGregor didn’t hold back: “P. Diddy’s a little up his own ass, to be honest. We were at a college football game – UCLA. But he is, you know, he didn’t even want to get in the picture. He barely shook my hand. I was about to give him just a left to the chin.”, reports the Irish Star.

The audience and a grinning Ryan Tubridy couldn’t help but chuckle as Conor McGregor joked: “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.”
Back in his heyday, McGregor was climbing the ranks to become UFC’s top dog. Just one year after his chat on The Late Late Show, he nabbed the title of UFC Featherweight Champion of the World.

As for Diddy, he hit his stride around the millennium but has since dropped only one album post-McGregor’s remarks. These days, it’s his personal dramas rather than his tunes grabbing headlines.
Diddy was arrested on 16 September in New York City and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has denied all the allegations against him.

He was placed on suicide watch but was recently taken off, with a law enforcement source telling People that he is “focussed and very strong”. Diddy is reportedly “concentrating on his defence and preparing for his trial”.
