Conor McGregor made an appearance at the famed Muscle Beach in Venice recently for a quick workout before his famed boxing match with Floyd Mayweather — or so fans thought.
A thicker and taller street workout athlete named Islam Badurgov from Kazakhstan fooled many fans into thinking he was actually McGregor thanks in part to his chest tattoos, thick accent, and camera-handling entourage. The dude is jacked.
He’s much larger than the 155-pound Conor McGregor, that didn’t stop Badurgov from pulling off an epic prank in L.A.
Accompanied by a camera crew, Badurgov rolled up to the famed Muscle Beach in Venice disguised as McGregor. Badurgov had the haircut, facial hair and, of course, the tattoos to look like McGregor. It didn’t make a difference that he’s way more jacked than McGregor, the prank worked to perfection.
Fans would constantly go up to Badurgov asking for photos. People honestly thought that they were seeing Conor McGregor.

Look at the crowd around his car:

He even had McGregor’s walk down perfectly. Nicely done, Badurgov.

McGregor will fight Floyd Mayweather on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.

Conor is borderline anorexic. Thin and weak as fuck
So how was this massive pro builder ever got inv to pass as Connor in the first place, Conor’s a little runt and this guy is 10kgs heavier. Nothing to see here, move along folks
Mike Csanki
Oh
Lol they got us all
I knew he wasn’t a heavyweight. That was the confusion. And how did he put on damn near 60 pounds so fast
Yeah that had me slightly corn fused. Was thinking he was serious about his training
Mark Hilliger
Tom Daniel
“Massive.” Like 175lbs. lol
What like your any bigger your just talk his guy has actual conditioned muscle dude is stacked and can still move like a small guy at least give the athlete credit sure he’s not the biggest guy but the dude still is a solid dude
It has nothing to do with him. It’s the word choice of the article. Calm down, sport.
