McGregor releases training photos, dubs himself 'King Ghost'

Conor McGregor has a new nickname.

Referring to himself as "King Ghost," the UFC lightweight champion shared a series of photos on social media in which he showcases the elusive style that he's apparently planning to bring to his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather on Aug. 26.

Most analysts are assuming that McGregor will try to win by slugging it out with Mayweather, but based on these images it looks like he's convinced that he can beat his defensive-minded opponent at his own game.
