Baron Corbin Would Send Conor McGregor to Hospital in Fight, Says WWE Legend Taz

Former WWE star Taz doesn't think UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor would stack up well with Baron Corbin in a fight.   

Speaking with TMZ Sports, Taz argued Corbin's size (6'8", 275 lbs) would give him a decided advantage against McGregor (5'9", 155 lbs):

There's no question Corbin is the far bigger, stronger competitor, and the 2016 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner is a great athlete.

He spent brief spells with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals in the NFL before making the jump to WWE. As an amateur boxer, Corbin won the Kansas-Missouri Golden Gloves regional title.

As Corbin was rising through the ranks at NXT, WWE also established how his anger was a distinctive part of his personality:

Still, McGregor is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Despite all of Corbin's physical gifts, he has nowhere near the fighting skill or experience of McGregor.

CM Punk is an example of how out of place a professional wrestler can be in a MMA fight. Brock Lesnar is a former UFC champion, but he was also a decorated collegiate wrestler before joining WWE—something Corbin can't boast despite all of his athletic accolades.
