Donald Cerrone has hit out at PETA after the animal rights organisation called on the UFC veteran to stop wearing clothes made from animal skins.
Cerrone revealed how he raises a number of animals at home to be slaughtered for meat to be eaten by him and his family.
Speaking at the UFC media day on Thursday, he joked: "Well I guess if killing humans was legal, I'd probably wear a bad ass human jacket.
"I got a white buffalo at home and when she croaks, I'm going to wear a bitch ass, legendary buffalo cape out one of these days.
"At the ranch, I've a lot of animals - turkeys, goats, chickens, pigs. We kill them, we butcher them, we eat them all ourselves. We eat every bit of them.
"I don't just go down to the store and buy beef. We raise it, we kill it, we eat it.
"If there's something inhumane or unjust about raising and killing my own meat for my own sake, PETA you're f***ed up.
"Granted I didn't kill the snake or raise the snake to build the python jacket, [but] god damn it was f***ing cool."
Earlier, PETA called on McGregor and Cerrone to stop wearing clothing items made from the skin of exotic animals.
A PETA spokesperson told The Irish Mirror: "Cerrone and McGregor may be known for being tough guys in the Octagon, but the ultimate challenge for these fighters would be to watch PETA's stomach-turning exposés, which show workers peeling snakes' skin off while they're still conscious.
"Phythons, who are taken from their jungle homes, are often nailed to trees and skinned alive so that their skins can be turned into coats, shoes, belts, and bags.
"Many of them suffer for hours or days as they slowly die.
"PETA will be writing to the pair with information and a simple request: be a fighting champ for animals and knock exotic skins out of your wardrobe."
