Much smaller McGregor vs Mayweather contest to provide fitting warm-up for money fight

"The mini fight"

Ben Kiely

If you’re not looking forward to Conor McGregor vs Mayweather, there’s an alternative fight on the night before that may tickle your fancy.

On August 26, the world will watch Conor McGregor walk out into the T-Mobile Arena to make his professional boxing debut against arguably the greatest defensive fighter to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

The undercard will be loaded with professional boxing bouts.

The night before, ‘Mini-McGregor’ will step inside the ring at Las Vegas strip club Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club to take on ‘Mini-Mayweather’.

Prior to the main event, spectators will get to watch ‘female wrestling’ and (don’t get offended, we’re just quoting the poster) ‘midget wrestling’.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Mini-Mayweather inside the ring.

Back in 2015, he took on a chap called Mini-Pacquiao prior to the PPV record smasher between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. that was allegedly even more entertaining than the one between the real fight. And something tells me his battle against Mini-McGregor will be more entertaining too.

You can check out the clip below and decide for yourself whether it trumped the ‘Fight of the Century’ or not.
