Former heavyweights hilariously act out Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather

This is exactly how it would go down

Bas Rutten is just a natural born entertainer.

The former UFC heavyweight champion could probably crack up a room full of people by reading out a phonebook.

Another man who has that rare charismatic charm that captivates audiences is Josh Barnett, who coincidentally also held the UFC heavyweight strap.

So when these two guys were tasked with the challenge of acting out some real and hypothetical combat sports match-ups for Inside MMA, it will come as no surprise that the duo let their personalities shine and had a whole lot of fun in the process.

The pair gave us a sneak preview of UFC 200’s money fight, Mark Hunt vs Brock Lesnar, they showed us how Mighty Mouse would get the win in a fantasy match-up against human sequoia Stefan Struve and they put on some fabulous hair pieces to break down what might happen if Ronda Rousey ever decided to move up and face the P4P Queen of MMA, Cyborg.

Another fictional fight they acted out is the supposed boxing bout between two of combat sports’ biggest superstars – UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather. You could probably guess the outcome they predicted, although if the fight took place inside an Octagon, we’re sure they would have acted out a one-man annihilation by the Notorious.
