"Who the fook is dat guy?" isn't something many WWE fans would say if Conor McGregor rolled into town for a few scraps. A couple of UFC legacy fighters will probably stop in for some tasty paydays on the WWE side now this Endeavor deal is over the line, and McGregor could be one of the biggest.

Conor vs. Brock Lesnar sounds like money.

It'd be an interesting premise to MMA fans too; Brock has history in UFC, so even people who traditionally turn their noses up at wrestling would be intrigued to see what might happen when he's nose-to-nose with McGregor. Ooh, the drama. Or, maybe "ooh, the buyrate" would be more accurate.

WWE wouldn't be bothered by the size difference between Conor and Lesnar either. They'd be too busy being swept away by the mainstream media interest, and would happily flash their drawers at any top outlet that'd give them coverage for such a match.
