UFC star Conor McGregor has entered into full troll mode ahead of his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

McGregor posted a photo of himself training in a boxing ring, and the wall behind him has been painted with a mural showing the Irish-born fighter knocking out Mayweather, who is arguably the greatest boxer of all-time.

He captioned the photo, which has more than a million likes, “I am a filthy Irish animal.” (SLIDESHOW: These Are the Hottest Women Of The UFC)

The two have gone back and forth for a long time, and it certainly isn’t the first time that McGregor has engaged in this activity over social media.

When the fight between the two was initially announced McGregor posted a photo of Mayweather on his Instagram portraying him as an old man, which was a jab at the fact he’s 40 years old.

THE FIGHT IS ON.

Now fans just have to eagerly wait for the press conferences between the two, which will almost certainly be out of control.
