Conor McGregor has made his presence known to the world in the quirkiest way possible. After calling-out Canelo Alvarez, ‘Mystic Mac’ decided to fire up against UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman. In a tweet, it was announced that Coleman was coming back for a celebrity boxing match. But McGregor seemed to like the limelight as he accepted the challenge in a deleted tweet.

However, McGregor’s move didn’t go unnoticed. The 58-year-old UFC Hall of Famer took to Instagram and sent a reply to the former UFC double champion. After claiming to be a big McGregor fan, he seemed confident about defeating ‘The Notorious’ in a boxing bout. Furthermore, he kept saying that being sober was, in fact, cool. He also thanked the Liver King for spreading around the ancestral tenants.
