A questionable Conor McGregor sculpture has been unveiled at the National Waxwork Museum in Dublin

“Who the f**k is that guy?”

THE NATIONAL WAX Museum recently moved to Westmoreland Street in Dublin – and it boasts wax sculptures of everything from Father Ted to the… Good Friday Agreement.

And today they got a high profile new member of the waxwork crew:

This Conor McGregor sculpture was unveiled

They’ve got the stance, the suit, the clothes and the beard pretty much down.

But his face doesn’t look all that much like The Notorious, to be fair

Waxworks are a difficult thing to get right, and the museum explained the process:

a new and innovative artistic and technical process that involved 3D scanning in the conjunction with wax sculpting was used to create an uncannily lifelike wax character

Hmm.

Conor’s dad Tony was in the house to celebrate the unveiling though

And they went all out on the suit they have him in

The tricolour was stuck up behind for maximum McGregor effect

He’s been positioned beside the current US President Donald Trump on the floor

High profile company.

It’s impossible to know what McGregor himself would think of it, but one famous quote of his does come to mind:

“Who the f**k is that guy?”

Next stop for him after the fight when he’s back in Dublin will surely be the National Waxwork Museum for a gawk up close.

    Looks like Ronan Keating :-) Why do they have him in a tux when his bare chest tattoos are his trademark? Worse than the Ronaldo statue :-)

    Much as Conor McGregor is big news, this is a non story. A bigger story might be that Carl Frampton and Barry McGuigan are about to split.

    I went there on a school tour in 1995 and visited last year. All the figures were the same. Pope JP, MJacko, Tina Turner…all the stars
