VIDEO | Conor McGregor sparks celebrities to do Vince McMahon’s power walk

Conor McGregor isn’t the first one to do it, but he has surely lit the fire to bring it to a lot of people’s attention.

WWE boss, Vince McMahon was the one to make the “power walk” famous and “The Notorious” has taken it with him right into the Octagon.

Back in his rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202, McGregor strutted in the Octagon with the famous walk shortly after entering the ring. “The Notorious” brought the swagger back with him into the Octagon at UFC 205 for his historic UFC lightweight title fight against Eddie Alvarez.

McGregor’s success and character is being noticed by the masses and some fellow celebrities have joined in on the power walk, now being more associated with McGregor than McMahon due to the recent surge in popularity of the UFC champion.

Memphis Grizzlies Marc Gasol did his version of the strut after putting his team up with just seconds left in the game to take the win against the LA Clippers a few days after UFC 205.
