Conor McGregor: 5 people who should walk with him to the ring

2. Skip Bayless

That’s right, the king of hot takes on television should be the one to walk out with Conor McGregor in Las Vegas.

It’s no secret that Skip Bayless isn’t exactly Floyd Mayweather’s biggest fan. He picked against him in the Pacquiao fight and still believes that Pacquiao won that fight.

Bayless is known for his outspoken opinions that often go against popular opinion. So it should be no surprise that he’s convinced that McGregor will beat Mayweather.

Not only does Bayless believe that McGregor will beat Mayweather, he thinks he’ll knock him out in the 10th round. Bayless calls this fight a “no win” situation for Mayweather and a “no lose” situation for McGregor.

There is no personal connection between McGregor and Bayless, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.  While it may seem like a ridiculous notion to have Bayless walk out with McGregor, it’s not any more ridiculous than some of the other people we’ve seen. It’s certainly not more ridiculous than the Burger King.

McGregor is so often his own hype man, it may be a nice change of pace to have another over the type, experienced hype man do his talking for him.
