Roman Reigns made a notable appearance at UFC Freedom 250, but it was Conor McGregor who quickly turned that moment into a talking point online.
The WWE star attended the event held at the White House on June 15, joining several high-profile figures in the crowd. During the broadcast, Reigns was briefly shown on camera alongside Paul Levesque, acknowledging WWE’s presence at the historic show.
Shortly after the event, McGregor reacted on social media to a post from TKO Group Holdings that highlighted Reigns’ attendance. His response was brief but direct.
“Who?”
The remark immediately drew attention, especially given the history between the two. McGregor has taken aim at WWE talent before, and this latest comment appeared to continue that pattern.
He followed up with a longer statement, criticizing the broadcast’s focus on celebrities rather than fighters competing on the card.
“The platforming of our athletes within the business was not capitalised on enough in my opinion. I don’t know who the f**k these guys are that have never fought MMA yet were visibly all over the show.”
The comments sparked reactions from both MMA and wrestling audiences, with many pointing out the long-standing online tension between McGregor and Reigns. While their exchanges have remained limited to social media, they have consistently generated interest due to their crossover appeal.
Reigns’ appearance came as part of a wider WWE presence at the event weekend, further highlighting the ongoing relationship between WWE and UFC under the TKO umbrella. Despite being shown during the broadcast, Reigns did not play any official role in the show itself.
As of now, Reigns has not publicly responded to McGregor’s comments. Given their past interactions, it remains to be seen whether this latest remark leads to another exchange.
