For the vast majority of fighters, the prospect of taking on arguably the greatest boxer in his domain would be enough to make you a little nervous. However, a couple days out from his professional boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor was yucking it up with Dana White.

White nearly pissed himself.

“He was little distra…(burst into laughter).”
