5 biggest names who are supporting Conor McGregor

#4 Idris Elba

Idris has backed McGregor

If you aren't familiar with the name Idris Elba, first of all, shame on you. Secondly, he is a famous British actor who has made a name for himself with movies like the upcoming Dark Tower, the Avengers, Thor, as well as TV shows like Luther and The Wire. He is a living legend of the business. Oh, and he's a semi-professional kickboxer who loves the fight game.

He has thrown his support firmly behind his Irish cousin, believing that Conor McGregor has more than a fighting chance in the upcoming encounter against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Here's what Elba had to say about McGregor's chances:

He’s gonna throw some things around that Floyd’s not going to be used to. If Floyd does what he does normally, which is just hold a tight fight, I think McGregor’s going to topple that, strike him. If he gets one on his chin, it could be over.
