Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather and Bruce Lee. Now that’s an iconic trio.

You may have heard that Saturday, McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will box Mayweather (49-0 boxing) in a crossover megafight pitting arguably MMA’s biggest current star against a boxing all-time great. The fight is expected to challenge for the title of the most lucrative combat sports bout of all time. It airs on pay-per-view from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor, the UFC’s lightweight champion, will be boxing for the first time as a professional. Not surprisingly, he has worked with a number of boxers to prepare for the differences between MMA the sport he’ll be trying on for size for what could earn him a nine-figure pay day.

But ahead of the megafight, McGregor said the only way his opponent could properly prepare for his style would be to resurrect a legendary martial artist from the dead.

“What other mixed martial artist is there like me?” McGregor said during an interview with his own website, TheMacLife.com. “He’d need to reincarnate Bruce Lee, and that would be the only person he could bring in that could mimic me with the way that I’m coming at him. I am not like any other mixed martial artist. I am not like any other boxer. I am in a league of my own, and I’ll prove that Aug. 26.”
