Conor McGregor – an inspiration to fighters, a muse for hip-hop artists.
“McGregor, McGregor, walking out Conor McGregor”
Such a simple hook, but after a few listens of “McGregor Walk” by rapper Maniac Flame, it will be stuck inside your head until the next time you accidentally stumble upon Gangnam Style on YouTube.
Touch wood.
As you can gather from the everything about it, Mr Flame’s opus is heavily inspired by the Notorious’ trademark ‘billionaire strut.’ If you need refreshing, here it is in all its glory.
It’s in-your-face, it’s arrogant, it’s got all the subtlety of a wheel-kick to the dome, but it is 100% McGregor. And that’s why people love recreating it so much.
Everyone from NBA players to footballers have been spotted actively engaging in the great “Billy Strut” revival of the 21st century, and it’s all because of the UFC superstar.
It’s kind of fitting that it will forever be immortalised in song-form, which the man himself retweeted on Thursday evening.
