When MMA fighters mix pro-wrestling with fighting, those moments are quickly forgotten, at best. But there’s one man whose sanity-questioning antics are hard to forget – Conor McGregor.
The UFC’s current Featherweight Champion seems to embody one motto in his lifestyle – go big or go home. From his dressing to his speech to his cars (what’s better than a Rolls-Royce? Two of em!), the “Notorious One” showed everyone that he walks the walk just as well as he talks the talk. His recent loss to Nate Diaz (at two full weight classes above) notwithstanding, the 13-second KO of Jose Aldo to end the Brazilian’s decade-long reign of the 145-pound division is proof.
His trash-talk isn’t always the most linear (he said he’d eat Diaz’s carcass alive, like a lion), but McGregor makes up in style what he lacks in substance. Even after his recent submission loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, the Irishman deferred to Diaz as the better man and came clean about his failings in the fight.
In winning, losing or just living, McGregor is absurdly watchable and he makes a case for himself in the video below. Watch as the UFC’s Featherweight king channels his inner billionaire megalomanic and gives us a version of Vince McMahon’s walkout:
Today is the day. Time to break out the red panties...
