Rockhold calls McGregor an 'anorexic leprechaun', wants to 'slap the s**t' out of him

It sounds like UFC interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor hasn't made a fan out of middleweight title challenger Luke Rockhold.

UFC 194 will feature two title fights as co-headliners - a middleweight battle between Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold underneath a featherweight unification bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor. The media rounds have begun for the event, starting with the "Go Big" press conference where McGregor verbally battled with...well, just about everyone.

One of the few that didn't engage him on stage was Rockhold, but in a recent radio interview with Power 106 he made it quite clear that he wasn't a huge fan of McGregor and his antics.
