Rumors of UFC star Conor McGregor potentially joining WWE have been floating around for years, and if it ever happens, fellow Ireland native Becky Lynch is willing to help him make the transition.

Lynch was asked what she thinks it would take to get McGregor to WWE during an interview with 106.7 The Fan's Chad Dukes.

"I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the future holds for Conor. But, like I said, again, if he wants to work for it, by all means," she said. "Come on, Conor. I'll give ya a little bit of training. I'll show you the ropes."

Lynch also sent a message to former UFC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg, who recently expressed interest in a WWE match against her.

"Cris Cyborg, again, another very talented professional in her field, in her field," Lynch said. "Look, if anybody loves it, if anybody's gonna obsess about this, if anybody's gonna put in the work, then do it. But you can't just come from another field and expect to be handed everything. Ronda was, but then we showed her the door quite quickly a year later.

"So yeah, if Cris Cyborg wants to work, if she wants to get training, if she wants to pay her dues, then by all means. But if she thinks that she can step from an MMA world into my world, well then that's a whole different kettle of fish. No less than if I just went into her field without any proper training in that field. This is a different sport, and this is a different grind that not everybody is able (to do)."
