Conor McGregor trolls Rafael dos Anjos with 'El Chapo' photo pose
Leave it to Conor McGregor to invoke an international drug lord when promoting his upcoming fight against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197.
McGregor wore a very flashy shirt to the UFC 197 pre-fight press conference on Wednesday while taking several digs at dos Anjos about his Brazilian heritage, his fighting style and a whole lot more.
But at one point, McGregor acknowledged the shirt he was wearing looked similar to the one Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman had on during a photo he took with actor Sean Penn in Mexico just days before his capture after escaping authorities on numerous occasions.
"I'm speaking Spanish, I'm dressed like El Chapo in his prime," McGregor shouted. "I'm running this company like half a wise guy. I'm up here verbally destroying this man. I am a multi-cultured individual. I do whatever I want."

McGregor's taunts didn't stop until the press conference was over, but then the featherweight champion pulled off his most impressive troll job yet.
As he stood next to dos Anjos for the staredown, McGregor put out his hand as if he was reaching out to the lightweight champion. But a second glance shows his true intentions.
McGregor was actually recreating the same photo that "El Chapo" had with Penn in Mexico before he was captured.
There's only one Conor McGregor, and he's nothing if not original.
