We hope he’s not as stiff on August 26.
Here’s us thinking we’d have to fly all the way to Las Vegas to get a glimpse of the UFC fighter when all we had to do was head to the capital.
Conor McGregor’s look-a-like is now stationed in Temple bar in The National Wax Museum where it took six months to create a waxwork of the fighter.
The sculpture just comes in time as the man from Crumlin jets off to the States to fight the biggest bout of his life when he takes on Floyd Mayweather at the end of August.
The Museum expects the figure to become one of its most popular attractions and it said that a new process involving 3D scanning was used, as well as wax sculpting to create the character.
McGregor’s waxwork is even dressed in a suit that was chosen by the main man himself and was donated by Louis Copeland…

According to Newstalk, McGregor himself suggested that his nom de guerre, ‘Notorious’, be stitched under the lapel of the jacket.
The Wax Museum’s marketing manager, Laoise Keaveney said: “We are all excited to exhibit the new wax figure of Conor, particularly in light of the unprecedented level of worldwide attention being focused on his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday 26th August.”
