Conor McGregor has been pretty much everywhere of late, especially after that 'interesting' press conference with Khabib earlier this week.
However, with the world press wanting his attention every minute of the day, he can't be everywhere at once. Thankfully, one man can step in and help. Meet Islam Badurgov - he's not even Irish.
The Kazakhstan street workout expert normally doesn't even look like Conor, but with a little bit of make-up it's amazing what you can do.
He's certainly built like the MMA-fighter-turned-boxer, if not with a little more muscle, and took to the streets of Los Angeles to fool some hardcore UFC fans.

The fans, logical maybe in their thought, can be excused slightly. After all, McGregor is only up the road in Las Vegas preparing for his fight against Mayweather.
Dressed in an open shirt, adding sunglasses and a fake beard, Badurgov certainly looks the part.
He walked, McGregor-style, to different sites across the American city, and a camera crew captured all the unfolding hysteria on camera.

On the Muscle Madness YouTube page, it is clear to see how the fans adored his impression (thinking he was the real deal). Many also took to their social media to claim they'd met the guy.
In a Facebook post, Badurgov highlighted how he'd been successful in convincing mass crowds.

He wrote: "Friends, meet Arthur Topelov... famous Kazakhstan actor. He was the main mob in our prank.
"As soon as he screamed Conor McGregor, the crowd went crazy and screamed with him. Without him, our video wouldn't have gotten so interesting and wouldn't have spilled on the internet."
In another, the street workout genius showed his support for McGregor in his fight against Mayweather.

"The prank was created to support great warrior Conor McGregor... in his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather. We truly believe in his victory."
