#2. Kamaru Usman used Conor McGregor's lingo

The reigning UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has consistently caught the ire of Conor McGregor for copying his one-liners.

Highly regarded as one of the best trash-talkers in the business, Conor McGregor knows how to get into his opponents' heads. McGregor has repeatedly called 'The Nigerian Nightmare' out for his tendency to copy the Irishman's disses. He also took to social media to call Usman out for copying his fighting style.

What's more, the Irishman recently rained down on the 170-lbs kingpin for copying his career trajectory by taking a fight against Canelo Alvarez. Kamaru Usman has expressed some interest in fighting the Mexican boxing superstar.

This prompted McGregor to take his thoughts to social media and claim that Usman was trying to do what 'The Notorious' did with Floyd Mayweather.

#1. Maurice Adorf channeled Conor McGrgeor in spirit

While most fighters on this list have only imbibed certain facets of Conor McGregor's being into their lives, German MMA fighter Maurice Adorf has perhaps taken things to a whole other level.

Instead of purely modeling his career behind the Irishman, Adorf sought to look and fight exactly like him. A Twitter user previously took to the social media platform to highlight the fighter's uncanny likeness to Conor McGregor.

Right from entering the octagon to fighting at the German MMA Championship 18, it was as if Adorf had conjured the Irishman's spirit to come out on top. The fact that Adorf's left hand is his dominant striking hand only adds to the charm of the German Conor McGregor.
