This is all about the walk…
Earlier this year, someone actually asked Conor McGregor about the way he walks, because to some folk, it looks more than a little reminscient to another famous someone’s walk.
Let us compare.

And here is WWE owner Vince McMahon’s walk:

When he was talking to Fox Sports about the similarities back then, he had some very choice words about it:
“I don’t give a f**k about Vince McMahon. I stole that walk, and that walk is now mine. And not Vince or any of those other pussies over in the WWE will do anything about it! That’s my walk! I created that walk. I made that walk!”
It seems that since then he has eased off on this opinion though – or at least found another outlet for his dislike – because at a recent media day at the UFC he was asked about that walk again, and Conor was in a much friendlier mood.

Anyone else think this sounds exactly like Love/Hate’s Detective Ciaran when they were discussing the show’s main antagonists?
“You take Nidge, I’ll take Fran. I like Fran, he’s a mad bastard.”
Three years later, that show’s impact lives on!
