Cena would fight McGregor

Wrestler and actor John Cena has accepted a challenge to take on mixed martial arts hardman Conor McGregor.

The WWE superstar has revealed he would happily face the UFC lightweight champion if the Irish brawler agreed to step into a wrestling ring.

"Would I ever be up for getting in a ring with Conor McGregor? Absolutely, but that would mean he would have to be up for getting in a WWE ring, so let's not put the cart before the horse, ladies and gents," the Trainwreck star told The Hook.

"Let's see what Mr. McGregor wants to do and then figure it out from there. I'm not the one to hand out invites. I don't do that. That's not in my job description, that's gonna be up to him."

McGregor, who famously switched fighting sports for a boxing match with world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. last year, has taken aim at Cena in the past, poking fun at the WWE star's ring attire.

"He's 40 years of age (and) he's walking around in a luminous orange T-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him," Conor snarled. "We can see him right there. He's a big, fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia."

But John is still a fan, insisting McGregor is a promoter's dream: "He gets the entertainment aspect of sport, and I think he gets it as good, or better than anyone else," he recently said. "The way he promoted the fight against Mayweather, that's what we do. He did it as good, or better than us."
