Beatings are coming

Beatings are coming.

Westeros and the octagon came together recently when Conor McGregor sparred with The Mountain from the hit HBO show but that’s not the first time that the two have crossed.

UFC takes pride in the fact that it’s the the fastest growing sport in the world while Game of Thrones has conquered the entire Seven Kingdoms in terms of its awards, popularity and viewing figures.

It seemed inevitable that the two would cross swords and that’s what the good people at M-1 Global have managed to do. M-1 Medieval is a full-combat tournament that takes place between armored knights and it looks absolutely bonkers but great fun.

This clip has been online for a few months now but it has just recently gone viral and it’s definitely worth a watch.

Anyone fancy seeing Ramsay Bolton getting beaten up by Jon Jones?
