Anyway, this little sequence from Conor caught the attention of one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world today. WBC and WBO junior welterweight (140 lbs) champion Terence Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) took to social media to introduce the “McGregor Challenge.” Check out the footage for yourself.
All of the hoopla started last Friday when McGregor’s open workout was held, and he decided to bust out this rather unique, rubber-armed pre-workout move.
Yesterday, WBC and WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford threw his hat into the circus when he posted the clip below of him and a few buddies doing their best rendition of McGregor’s unorthodox training.
This silly little video inspired a bit of buzz on Instagram, and, as of Tuesday morning, had more than 300 posts. Here are a few examples of people stepping up to the plate and responding to the challenge.
While Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor is set for August 26th on pay-per-view, Terence Crawford’s undisputed junior welterweight title unification bout against Julius Indongo will air live on ESPN on Saturday, August 19th in Crawford’s home state of Nebraska.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
That’s not imitation, it’s mocking.
Mockery by imitation. Wow you must have been dropped as a baby. See that is mocking you without imitation. Meaning not flattering. ???
lol, just now my lawn and keep it down. I’ll put my IQ up against yours any time.
Take the L scott??
Identity theft is a crime, Jim!!!
Imitation is the same as mocking. Mocking is just usually of lesser quality.
Doesn’t take a genius to know basic English or even a decent IQ. Doesn’t seem like there is much hope.
Logan Thomas mind your own Business goofball.
Rocky S. Macfarlane so I’m right. Thanks for explaining!
No you’re not right and you can’t spell either. I know this must be hard for you to wrap your head around. Just keep digging. Lol

mcgregor is such a joke, so sick of hearing about him, especially in boxing. After this fight hopefully he realizes that he is nothing in boxing, and just sticks to UFC.
i wonder what you will do if he does really well?
Anthony Byron he will not come back here and eat crow.
You’re entitled to your opinion. However I’m sure if we compare your achievements to his we would see who the joke really is?
& after he fights Diaz again & loses then it’s all over , thank God.
Its called a warm up routine for a reason.
Still looks funny as hell regardless of the fact
Well he’s an MMA fighter. I’m sure he can circulate his blood and activate his muscle tissues properly.
Come on manilla we are gorilla
Look at those skinny legs!
Wtf? Your legs look like twigs
So, tell me something, Michael Hernandez, do you hold fish in your fat neck before you consume them?
He is gonna get wrecked, if this was a “real” fight. This guy would be floored within 5 rounds
Connor would DESTROY the guy in a real FIGHT. End of story. Sweet science?that’s great and all but when people talk shit to each other it leads to a FIGHT. And Connor would destroy most in a FIGHT.

Its loosening up to be able to deliver faster & more fluid & powerful blows…Though I’m gunning for Floyd to KO him…
Fk Clown
Izzy Briggs pretty sure connor mcgregor stole your moves and made them his own girlfriend – should be called the bellab challenge they just need to get their lean on
Haha definitely stole move from me!
Asif Javead deffo had too many blows to his head
A world champion boxer who would never ever have the balls to step into another mans sport and fight even once in the Octagon as he would not last one round, whereas Mc Gregor has the balls to take the risk and will nearly certainly last rounds against the so called best boxer!
Balls ……… U mean no brain , Stupid.
I think anyone would do it for 100 million.
The only one taking a risk is Mayweather….Connor literally has nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Mayweather taking a risk? this is the man considered to be the best boxer of our generation boxing under 100% boxing rules and ring and facing a man who has never boxed in 1 professional boxing match in his life and you think this is a risk Chris Hyslop ? now that is pure absurdity.
Taking a risk for the money. Thats what it is. ???
their is no risk here for Floyd??
Jesus calm down sassy pants, you shouldnt take sports so personal.
Jesus as in the guy from the fictional book “The Bible”? hoe does he know about my Sassy Pants?
Look this guy is annoying yes but its all to increase fight revenue. Obviously he hasnt got a chance in 10 universes of beating mayweather but more he annoys peeps the more will watch in hope of his KO. Hence more pay per view $$ for him.
KO? Mayweather throws pillows for hands! He hasn’t knocked anyone out since the 90’s! Come on now
Honestly he will just say “they are all trying to be him” this man is going to feel even more proud even if they are taking a shit like him …
Matt Smith your gonna love his warmup move
Hes doing all this on purpose to get you talking. Havent you guys caught on to this yet?
Terrence Crawford – who the fook is that guy?! Georgia Reckers Tim Martinelli
Let’s be honest no one spaghettis like Mac he’s got the flow
Yea mock him thats pretty ignorant
