Joe Rogan impersonates Conor McGregor with ridiculous Irish accent

Joe Rogan might be a great commentator, but he'll never make it as an impressionist if his Conor McGregor imitation is anything to go by.

Rogan tried to mimic the Dubliner's famous voice on his podcast, and instead came out with a ridiculous Irish accent.

Discussing McGregor's credentials at welterweight, Rogan revealed that Dana White isn't a fan of the former two-weight champ staying in the division.

And in an hilarious attempt to mock McGregor talking up his chances of sticking it at 170 lbs, Rogan came out with the ridiculous impression.

“I f***ing love myself at 170. I’m f***ing strong. I feel great Joe… I can do all these things, I can do all these things at 170," Rogan mocked.

McGregor has teased a potential clash Manny Pacquiao in a reply to a birthday message from the boxing legend on Twitter.

McGregor, who turned 32 on Tuesday, responded to a happy birthday from the Filipino fighter by saying: "Thank you Emmanuel, 170."

The Dubliner appeared to cheekily hint at a 170lbs fight against a fighter who has never fought above 154lbs.

McGregor famously crossed over to boxing for a bout with Pacquaio 's rival Floyd Mayweather in August 2017 - which the undefeated Mayweather won by 10th-round TKO.

The former two-weight UFC champion recently announced his retirement from MMA for the third time, which could free him up for a megabucks boxing fight.

Prior to his UFC 249 win over Donald Cerrone in January, McGregor said he was looking at other boxing opportunities.

He told ESPN: "I would be open to other boxing bouts. We were actually close to signing [a deal with] Manny [Pacquiao].

"There's been talks about the fight with Manny. There was an offer made on that."

He added: "I'd like to box Paulie [Malignaggi] as well. Why not? That's a bit of buzz, Paulie in a boxing bout. I want to box again. I will box again. I want to get a boxing world title. A boxing title is something [I want]."
