WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
Big-hearted Conor McGregor has flown a Youtube star to Las Vegas after his tribute song to the UFC star went viral ahead of his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
The video of Mick Konstantin's catchy tune has racked up nearly four million views on Facebook alone.
Speaking to MMA Fighting, McGregor said: "It’s one hell of a song! It’s a very catchy song. We actually reached out to the guy.
"We booked him a flight, him plus one, brought him over to the fight, got him tickets and put him up in a hotel. I’ll meet him maybe after the fight!"
The song which is available on iTunes is raising money for Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin in Dublin.
Last night Mayweather tipped the scales at 149.5lbs, three and a half lighter than his Irish opponent and four and a half below the light-middleweight limit.
McGregor is expected to be significantly heavier by the time the two fighters enter the ring, and he said of his undefeated opponent, who fights for the 50th time: "He's full of water: that's the worst shape I've ever seen him in.
"That's the worst shape I've seen in him. He looks out of shape; I'm going to breeze through him.
"I'm a professional; I make weight. It's about sacrifices, dedication, it's focus, I make it, and that's it. I've put in the work as everyone can tell. I'm ready.
"(I'll be) a lot bigger than him (on fight night). Pushing 170lbs.
"You'll never beat the Irish, and that's it. Las Vegas is ours now. I'll stop him in four. Let's see if he can take it."
Lyrics to There’s Only One Conor McGregor
A kid from Dublin with more than a dream
He knew one day he'd be the king of the UFC
With a group of fighting Irish not to be pushed over
Not here to take part they were here to take over
From the start John Kavanagh by his side
Whoever thought they'd be known worldwide
After 60g's baby and a contract to sign
Leaving his old life and the social welfare behind
After 2 years came the featherweight champion of the world
Conor said he'd make him look like a little girl
It only took ten seconds to show his talk wasn't cheap
As he connected with the left, and put ALDO TO SLEEP!
There's only one Conor McGregor, and there's no fighter better
And he's going to knock out Floyd Mayweather
So Floyd watch out cos the Irish are coming
You can talk all you want, buy you'll do nothin!
The lightweight belt was next in store
To do what no other fighter had ever done before
Became the first same time double champ in history
And took the chance to apologise to absolutely nobody
Came from working on a building site
To getting million dollar pay cheques from Dana White
And now his money, his cars and his clothes he flaunts
Cos the double champ does what the f**k he wants
Mayweather, your old and your small
And the truth is that you'll do feck all
Cos precision beats power and timing beats speed
"Why have you got a school bag Floyd you can't even read"
Well he dresses to kill, buys Lamborghinis at will
Can get inside your head like he was Dr. Phil
And if you call him out, have a good reason why
Or he'll turn around and say who the f**k is that guy
And on the 26th of August we're taking over Vegas
The Irish invasion you can't mistake us
Singing songs day and night ’til our voices are sore
Cos when one of us goes, we all go to war!!
