Prior to Conor McGregor fighting and defeating Jose Aldo at UFC 193 on December 12, TMZ Sports caught up with him and asked who would win a fight pitting him against Jesus.
"Me versus Jesus in the Octagon. I'll tell you what, there's not a man alive that can beat me," McGregor said. "But Jesus ain't alive is he? I don't fucking know. Maybe he can come back from the dead. I'd still whoop his ass."
Those comments didn't sit well with Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, the former PRIDE middleweight champion and former UFC title contender.
Silva posted a Facebook video in response to the disrespect he feels McGregor showed towards God.
"When I meet this guy, for everything he said about Jesus, I will slap this motherfucker in the face. You can’t do that. You can’t play with our God. When I meet you, raise your hand because you’re getting slapped in the face, you punk," Silva said.
Trash talking is normal among fighters. Nothing usually comes of it outside of the Octagon. But Silva is very serious about his religious beliefs and is known for his hot temper. It will be interesting to see what happens if he crosses paths with McGregor.

Chris Brown may want to sell his Woodland Hills, California mansion because it seems to be a magnet for troublemakers.
In July three men broke into the home while Chris was away. They held his aunt at gunpoint, locked her inside a closet and ransacked the place.
Today TMZ is reporting that on Tuesday, December 22, a 27-year old woman waited at the gate for someone to leave, then drove onto the property and refused to leave after being ordered to so by security.
Police were called and the woman was charged with criminal trespass. Chris was home at the time, but never came outside.
This was not the singer's first run-in with a female stalker. In May a woman was found inside his Agoura Hills, California home. She had been there for several days while Chris was out of town.
When he got home she was in his bed naked waiting for him. Needless to say she was hauled off by police and charged with felony burglary and felony vandalism
Chris later posted her photo on Instagram with a caption that read:
"I get home and find this crazy individual in my house," he wrote. "She had broken the hinges off the doors. She Found time to cook her several meals. She Wrote "I love you" on the walls. She threw out my daughters clothing as well as my dogs stuff. Then had all these crazy voodoo things around my crib. goes to show you how crazy people are crazy! And she painted her name on my cars!!!! I love my fans but this is some on some real real crazy shit! I pray she will get help."
