Newsflash – Conor McGregor is his own biggest fan.

There's no greater example of his unwavering confidence, borderline hubris, than strumming through his Instagram. McGregor's IG has turned into a an ongoing log of his training for his upcoming boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, which will take place in Las Vegas on August 26.

Here are just a few of McGregor's recent posts.

 

ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

As you can see, McGregor isn't afraid to pat himself on the back (his countless hours of "rhythmic training" must help with that).

Not many people are taking McGregor and his training seriously. The consensus is that Mayweather makes easy work of the UFC champion and send him running back to MMA $100 million richer.

That isn't McGregor's intent at all. He fully expects to be the first man to defeat Floyd Mayweather and continue his path toward becoming that greatest overall fighter, not just MMA, of all-time.
