UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has given Virgin CEO Richard Branson a taste of what life is like one day before a big cage fight.
McGregor and Branson got up on stage, stripped off their shirts, and gave each other ice cold death stares as they faced off for the cameras at an event in Ireland on Wednesday.
As famous for his immortal insults as he is for his concussive punching power, McGregor even talked Branson down in the caption of the Instagram post below, writing: "He is not a knighted Sir on this soil."
McGregor and Branson came face-to-face because of an event at the Pendulum Summit in Dublin's Convention Centre.
McGregor was on stage to collect a lifetime achievement award due to his championship runs in cage fighting firms Cage Warriors and UFC.
Branson, presenting the award, couldn't resist the opportunity to mess around with McGregor.
