Whether McGregor joins that list remains to be seen, but if he did so, McIntyre said he and WWE would make a "lovely" fit.

He, therefore, calls the Irishman "McTapper."
McIntyre added that if McGregor ever participated in a WWE event, it is unlikely they would exchange niceties.
"I wouldn't want to give him a hug but he wouldn't want to give me a hug considering I keep calling him McTapper on social media.
"I give him some crap but chances are we're probably not going to have a match because he's the size of my left calf. I will probably stick with Fury, he's a big guy and we're heavyweights but it would be cool to have McGregor part of it.
"If he's feeling frisky, we'll have ourselves a little scrap, but he is such an entertainer," McIntyre said.
"He gets it and he would fit in lovely in WWE."
McGregor last fought in the UFC in January when Dustin Poirier knocked him out in the second round of a lightweight match.
The loss leveled a two-fight rivalry with Poirier to 1-1 as McGregor beat the American by knockout in 2014.
There has been industry talk of a trilogy bout this summer to settle the scoreline.
