UFC champion Conor McGregor is adopting legendary Bruce Lee’s philosophy to convert to boxing and prepare for mega fight against Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor has yet to box as a professional, and the undefeated Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete.
But the 28-year-old isn't worried — far from it, in fact. On Wednesday, McGregor appeared on "Conan" and opened up about his strategy for the bout, citing one inspiration in particular: the great Bruce Lee.
"I will go in and dismantle [Mayweather] at his own game. That's what a true martial artist can do — they can adapt under any circumstance," he said. "Bruce Lee said, 'Be like water.' When water enters a cup, it becomes the cup. That's the philosophy I have going into this contest. It doesn't matter what rule set or stipulations they try and put on me. I can adapt and overcome any situation."
