Follow Us
Conor McGregor is probably the first name from the UFC Octagon who became a cultural icon. McGregor’s persona has transcended the sport of MMA. Whether it’s his billionaire strut or his trash-talking, fans have adapted his style willingly.
Children are, often, not among the viewers of MMA. However, Conor has managed to tap into that fanbase as well. Kids who wouldn’t understand the intricacies of the sport are in awe of him anyway. He is inspiring the younger generation to opt into mixed martial arts, both as a career and as a hobby.
The video of such a 6 six-year-old, Malcolm Lathem, is grabbing the attention of many. He is a child with an innate passion for baseball. However, despite his interest in baseball, he is a die-hard fan of “The Notorious One”. In a video posted on Instagram, he is seen imitating Conor’s billionaire strut. He also has two belts around him along with the Irish flag.

MMA journalist, Chamatkar Sandhu, shared the image on his Twitter. The video shows the kid walking like Conor in a ball game. He is even capable of knocking the ball out of the park. He does it in the same emphatic fashion with which McGregor knocks out his opponents.

He walks like him, he talks like him and he *quite literally* knocks it out of the park ⚾
