An American Baptist minister has called on God to kill Conor McGregor.

Pastor Donnie Romero from the Stedfast Baptist Church in Texas has spoken passionately about Conor McGregor comparing himself to God. He has even gone as far a proclaiming that the UFC Featherweight Champion is "a wicked person".

Romero told his congregation "I'm going to pray that God strikes him [McGregor] down with a lightening bolt". He also told his followers "shame on you" if you were a fan of the Dubliner.

Conor McGregor returns to action next month when he fight Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC Middleweight Title. Whether McGregor has God on his side or not remains to be seen.
