boxing ring against his bitter rival later this month.The massive Icelander will fight Eddie Hall on March 19, finally settling a long-running feud between the two World's Strongest Man winners. Thor has the advantage of more boxing experience, having knocked out Devon Larratt when the arm wrestling legend stepped in for the injured Hall last September.And the Reign Total Body Fuel ambassador can also count on the experience of going toe-to-toe with ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor in a sparring session.Their impromptu grappling match took place when Bjornsson was filming for the hit TV series Game of Thrones in Belfast, and he decided to visit the MMA star in training."After the session we're taking pictures, me and Conor, and when two guys like myself and Conor McGregor meet something just happens, it's in the environment," he explained."We're two alpha males, and we just had to grapple, we just started, and it had to happen – it wasn't planned."I wasn't warmed up or anything, what you saw is what happened.

Conor McGregor has been criticised after he filmed himself using a butler to fetch him a bottle of water.The UFC star is usually active on social media and often gets very vocal about his rivals, sometimes crossing the line with his digs and insults.His latest online controversy has come in the form of a video where he is seen in a swanky hotel.The 54 second-long clip starts off strange as McGregor appears to breathe in the fumes from a bowl of incense.It then takes a turn as a member of staff brings himself some pills to take.McGregor asks "water as well please" which the butler opens before handing it to the former double-champion.He drinks from the bottle before holding it up in the air in anticipation of the butler coming to collect it and says "thank you" as he does.The Irishman then returns to holding the incense to his face as the video ends. After further social media posts, including one where Nate Diaz's face was put over the butler's, fans condemned McGregor's actions. Do you agree with the criticism? Let us know in the comments section. "A butler? Why?," asked one.

Conor McGregor claims he's made an opening bid to buy Chelsea but has fallen some way short of Roman Abramovich's reported asking price. The Russian billionaire is looking to sell the club and is understood to have slapped a £3billion price tag on the club.

MMA is known for producing some iconic knockouts, but one fighter has taken inspiration from the WWE with an insane body slam to finish his opponent.Unlike boxing, where the rules are extremely strict, anything goes in sport of MMA, with the octagon the hub for the weird and wonderful.Jorge Masvidal famously stopped Ben Askren with a flying knee, while Brown Pinas hit the headlines for a spinning elbow knockout back in 2018, as fighters continue to find innovative ways to catch their opponents off guard.But this is one of the first instances of a WWE inspired takedown, leading to a brutal stoppage.Russian MMA star Khamzat Magomadov was already cruising to victory against his opponent, but just as his victim was holding on, the eventual winner picked him up and flipped him around in the air.The opponent was helpless in the air before being slammed down, when the fight was eventually stopped despite the referee allowing seven extra punches to be landed.Clearly worse for wear, Magomadov's opponent was helpless on the floor as he came to terms with what had just happened, before being slammed in the face on multiple occasions.The fight was over, but discussions had just begun as commentators were in amazement for what had just been produced, raising the question as to whether more stars may opt for a similar approach.The next UFC fight night is on March 19, with rising star Paddy Pimblett fighting on the undercard of Volkov v Aspinall, and the Liverpool local is known for pulling off a surprise move himself.The 27-year-old may still be asserting himself in the world of MMA, but his recent rise to fame has even seen him linked with fighting Jake Paul or Conor McGregor.

Conor McGregor has shocked the sporting world by stating his intention to buy Chelsea Football Club - though the figures may not add up.Notorious, 33, took to social media on Wednesday afternoon to post a photo of a WhatsApp chat with the caption "I wish to explore this.

Conor McGregor "wants to explore" buying Chelsea for £3billion amid reports of owner Roman Abramovich looking to sell the club.Reports emerged on Wednesday of the Blues owner offering the West London club to several different parties in light of Russia's widely condemned invasion of Ukraine.Abramovich handed over "stewardship" of the club to the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation on Saturday and is now claimed to be looking to part ways completely.And that has now provoked UFC legend and business mogul McGregor to consider a takeover bid of the Champions League winners.McGregor took to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon to post a straightforward WhatsApp message from himself expressing his interest in buying Chelsea.His message read: "Chelsea for sale £3bn. Let's buy it."The Irishman took his proposal directly to Chelsea by captioning the post: "I wish to explore this.

Conor McGregor has outlined his plans for his UFC return and also explained his mega body transformation during his injury lay-off.'The Notorious' is still undergoing rehab after breaking his leg in his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 last July, but has had fans speculating over what weight he'll fight at next after packing on the muscle during his time away.McGregor, 33, was at the Bellator 275 event at the 3Arena in Dublin on Friday night, and in an interview with SevereMMA, responded to jibes he was now looking more like a light-heavyweight, as opposed to his customary featherweight or lightweight frame."I go up and down you know," he said."I trim but I'm just eating, and lifting [weights], and I'm not having to restrict."However, when asked directly what weight he was going to come back at, Mcgregor was non-committal."I'm not sure yet to be honest, 155 to 170 [lbs] I'd imagine."McGregor said he had been cleared to start sparring again in April, and hasn't ruled out an immediate bout with reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira.Is Conor McGregor still amongst the best in the UFC? Let us know in the comments section.The Brazilian is currently negotiating a title defence against Justin Gaethje, but with the fight yet to be confirmed, the Irishman has suggested Oliveira would be better suited scrapping those proposals and facing him instead."Maybe if your man [Oliveira] is wise he'll give it another month or two. July? July seems ok for me.

Khabib Nurmagomedov on his victory over Conor McGregor in UFC 229 - and even said he sympathised with the fighter over how he behaved at the end of the bout.After his win in 2018, Nurmagomedov leaped from the octagon and had a brawl with one of McGregor’s trainers , while several other men, believed to be members of Nurmagomedov’s entourage, attacked McGregor.But Putin said that he was OK with the actions of the now-retired fighter, who he claimed was acting in retaliation for McGregor's words about his father, country and religion.“Anyone could have jumped [out of the octagon] in the same way,” said Putin.“If we are attacked from the outside, not only you, we could all jump in such a way … there could be hell to pay.” Putin continued saying that “it’s better not to reach that stage".Nurmagomedov apologised for his actions and said to Putin when they met his father and trainer, the recently-deceased Abdulmanap, would likely “smash me when I get home”.“I will ask your father not to punish you too strictly, because you achieved the main task, worthily and convincingly,” Putin responded.The Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended UFC fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor in a unanimous vote Tuesday for their involvement in a brawl after their lightweight championship bout at UFC 229 in October.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email newsletter!From the latest transfer news to the agenda-setting stories, get it all in your email inbox - don't miss a thing.It only takes a matter of seconds.Simply type your email address into the box at the top of this article and hit 'subscribe'.And that's it, job done.

Vladimir Putin, announced a “special military operation” in Ukraine.Explosions were soon heard in cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odessa - with the Ukraine military claiming 40 people have been killed. Russia declaring war on democratic Ukraine is a clear sign of the detest Putin feels towards the West.So with that in mind, what must Seagal be thinking?After all, he’s been incredibly complimentary towards Putin in recent times, even describing him as a "brother".These words are now coming back to haunt him - with Arnold following up his earlier tweet with: “If Steven Seagal violently chokes out Vladimir Putin tonight he might get one last chance to work in Hollywood.”Below, we take a look inside one of the strangest friendships in the world.Seagal, now 69, started out as a martial arts instructor before becoming a 90s action hero in blockbuster Hollywood movies.He then enjoyed a profitable spell of producing and starring in his own Hollywood films - including Sniper: Special Ops.But his career has often been plagued with controversy - and his friendship with Putin is right up there.He once described fearsome Putin as “one of the greatest living world leaders” while also identifying the Russian president as being “like a brother” to him.It is believed the pair struck up a friendship because of their passion for martial arts.Seagal is a 7th-dan black belt in aikido and he became the first foreigner to open an aikido dojo in Japan.

Conor McGregor has shared a failed tattoo which a fan has inked under their bra-line in dedication to the UFC legend.The Notorious has gained a legion of fans throughout his rise in the MMA and boxing scenes, and now sits on a massive 44.3million Instagram followers.His supporters come from far and wide and some have such an extreme obsession with him that they get him permanently branded on their body.That is exactly what a woman from Uruguay in South America has done.But one look at the tattoo and she may be wishing it was one of the temporary ones you used to stick on as a child.The ink is simply the Irishman's name but the letter 'g' in McGregor isn't capitalised as it should be.It also elicits memories of classic Microsoft typeface Comic Sans, which is widely regarded as the worst font available and has been the subject of repeated mockery online.McGregor himself seemed happy enough with the tattoo under her black bra, though.What's the worst sports tattoo you have seen?

Vladimir Putin’s security was once forced to step in after Conor McGregor made a grave error during their meeting.Legendary UFC fighter McGregor is not often told what to do - nor is he easily scared - having fought some of the most dangerous MMA fighters on the planet throughout his career and ended up the victor.But meeting the fearsome Russian president, who has now governed the nation for a combined 18 years, brought out a brief moment of fear from the Irishman.It came when ‘The Notorious’ visited Moscow for the 2018 World Cup final and met the 69-year-old ahead of France’s 4-2 win over Croatia.There, the former two-weight UFC champion was seen in a clip greeting Putin and enjoying a brief conversation.And things appeared jolly until McGregor thought he could put his arm around Putin’s shoulder for a photo, which prompted one of the Russian security staff to intervene.McGregor’s facial expression dramatically changed from excited to nervous after being warned and the pair then took the picture with the 33-year-old’s hands in front of him.Would you rather take on McGregor or Putin in the octagon?

I know his dad, his step-dad, and my dad are all extremely excited to go to Conor McGregor’s bar,” VanZant said.She also admitted to meeting McGregor once.

no love lost between former UFC champ Conor McGregor and current WBC holder Tyson Fury. The pair engaged in a quick Twitter spat seemingly sparked by Fury praising one of McGregor’s main rivals, despite the two having got on well in the past and congratulated each other on victories.McGregor made his move for Fury after the boxer publicly praised McGregor’s fierce rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired in 2021.In a post Fury said, alongside a picture of the retired Russian former champion: “This man did it right. Got in & won & got out on top.

Jake Paul has been told the terms and conditions that he needs to follow in order to set up a fight with UFC legend Conor McGregor.Paul made the move into professional boxing two years ago, and has defeated two mixed martial artists in ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley and Bellator champion Ben Askren.He has however always had his eye on a boxing bout with one of MMA’s greatest in McGregor, previously commenting that it was one of the reasons he began boxing in the first place.Paul said last week: “I want to fight Conor McGregor.

Conor McGregor admitted he felt very “horny” after realising he had topped Forbes’ list as the highest-paid athlete for 2021.The UFC legend reportedly received a mammoth total earning of $180million (£133million) last year, comfortably beating the likes of Lionel Messi (£96million) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£88million) in second and third, respectively.The 32-year-old also edged NFL’s Dak Prescott and NBA superstar LeBron James, who completed the top five, while tennis star Naomi Osaka was the highest-paid female athlete in 12th.And while being that wealthy could trigger a number of different emotions, a prideful McGregor took to Twitter to bizarrely announce the news evoked other feelings.McGregor initially posted a cryptic tweet without any context which left fans understandably baffled.He simply wrote: “Guys, I’m horny”.The Irishman then elaborated, tweeting: “I’m the number 1 highest paid Forbes athlete this year. I horn.”McGregor is known for being a shrewd business mogul, capitalising on his popularity as a UFC fighter through trash-talking and launching various enterprises.Do you think Conor McGregor is a better businessman than he is a fighter?

Floyd Mayweather Jr has been told he can "fight whoever the hell he wants" after talks over his money-spinning Dubai exhibition match fell through. 'Money' was set to take on social media star Money Kicks – real name Rashed Belhasa – in an exclusive boxing bout on the helipad at the top of the Burj Al Arab hotel.

Conor McGregor were unsavoury, with the Russian icon going after the Irish fighter's team members after comfortably winning inside the cage, then it was nothing compared to this.Just as the victor was set to get his hand raised, hell broke loose, with the loser appearing to rip off his strapping and hurl it towards a coaching staff member at ringside.That prompted laughter and an exchange of words, but no-one was smiling seconds later as the fighter sprinted towards the ropes and exchanged blows with the individual, and then grappled with officials as they tried in vain to calm him down.As the ring announcer futilely pleaded for calm, things eventually seemed to momentarily simmer down before kicking off again, with the fighter throwing a second bit of strapping out of ring before a man in plain clothes dived through the ropes and the pair scrapped.In the meantime the winner, who initially had tried to drag his beaten opponent - and officials - away from the melee, had clearly had enough, and simply watched on from outside the ropes as the chaos continued.Anything wrong with a good old post-bout scrap? Let us know in the comments section.By the time things settled a second time, there were multiple officials, coaches, and seemingly random individuals on the mat, with a small crowd watching on in a mixture of disgust and disbelief.The clip was posted on Twitter by @Matysek88, who has been getting attention of late for similarly bizarre posts relation to pop-MMA, another Russian-based promotion whereby people take part in fights on the back of little, or in some cases zero, MMA experience.Inter-gender bouts are also encouraged, while no restrictions are placed on the weight difference between opponents.

Floyd Mayweather Jr's former boxing rivals has claimed a rematch between them would break pay-per-view records and be a bigger fight than Money's recent exhibition bouts.Since retiring from competitive boxing in 2015, Mayweather has taken on a host of famous faces in one-off fights for the purpose of making obscene amounts of cash. His 2017 fight against UFC star Conor McGregor reportedly earned him £220m and was a huge PPV hit. Since then he has fought the likes of kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and YouTuber Logan Paul.

Conor McGregor has left fans in awe at his ongoing body transformation after sharing a series of topless snaps taken during his chance meeting with Justin Bieber in the Bahamas.Back in December, McGregor told fans that he was weighing in at 190lbs, which was up 34lbs on the 156lbs he tipped the scales at for his most recent trip to the octagon.With his transformation raising eyebrows, his latest Instagram upload has offered further insight into his condition after saying he plans to be back in the ring for the summer.McGregor wrote: "I bumped into @justinbieber again today. In the Bahamas!"I always randomly see Justin out of nowhere and just chop it up, I love this kid! Two goats on a cliff sideways, just chopping it up, what’s happenin JB my brotha hahah."I put it up to the sky this keeps happening, it’s something from above that keeps doing this!"God bless you my brother, great to see you always.

Jake Paul has advised Conor McGregor to add more calcium to his regime because his "bones are f*****g breaking."'The Problem Child' was among the first to pillory UFC star McGregor after his trilogy fight opposite Dustin Poirier last July ended when 'The Notorious' broke his tibia (shinbone) at the end of the opening round.Paul, 25, even had a $100,000 (£73,500) 'Sleepy McGregor' chain custom-made in an effort to rile up his would-be rival, having repeatedly teased the prospect of fighting the Irishman in recent years.Appearing at a press conference to promote Katie Taylor's upcoming lightweight title fight against his fighter, Amanda Serrano, Paul insisted McGregor would have to earn the chance to fight him in future."I don't give a s**t about Conor," the Most Valuable Promotions face told Mirror Fighting at Monday's press conference."I just want to fight him and smack him in the head - in that sense I hope that he can win some fights so that we can actually fight."But the guy is a grown-a*s man, he needs to figure out his life; it seems to be falling apart from what I can tell."It seems no coincidence that McGregor's fortunes in the Octagon have suffered just when his other enterprises and business ventures outside of it have flourished.The Irishman's Proper No. Twelve whiskey has proved a major hit, leading McGregor to more recently launch his Forged Irish stout, regularly uploading clips to social media of him enjoying his own wares.Do you think Jake Paul will ever fight Conor McGregor? Let us know in the comments section."Obviously, everything's through a lens, we don't know what he's going through actually," Paul added when asked about McGregor's drinking habits.“That’s clearly one of his many problems.
