Conor McGregor Lookalike Fools Crowds in New York City
Warning: Video contains NSFW language.
In late July, professional weightlifter and street workout athlete Islam Badurgov fooled fans on the West Coast into believing he was UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.
Earlier this week, Badurgov, an accomplished McGregor impersonator, took his act to New York City.

Just as was the case at Muscle Beach in Venice, California, crowds at multiple locations around New York swarmed who they believed to be the UFC superstar set to face boxer Floyd Mayweather on August 26.
NYPD officers posed for pictures with Badurgov, fans chanted McGregor's name upon seeing the doppelganger, and he and his crew even stalled Manhattan traffic for a time.
The fact Badurgov is noticeably bigger than the real McGregor apparently doesn't keep fans from wanting to believe they're seeing arguably the most eccentric athlete in combat sports today.
