The “Bottle Cap Challenge” is the newest viral craze, and Conor McGregor is the latest to ace the test of skill and accuracy.
The premise is simple on paper, if far less simple to achieve in practice: All you have do is deliver a spinning back kick to an unscrewed bottle cap and knock it off the bottle without knock the bottle over, and post the proof on Instagram.
Go ahead, give it a try. We’ll wait for ya.
While we wait for a few intrepid folks to give it a go, for the rest of you, McGregor, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, took the challenge from actor Jason Stratham, and executed it flawlessly.
As the kicker (get it?), McGregor then went and nominated a certain someone to give it a go next: Floyd Mayweather, his opponent in The Money Fight.
While Mayweather took advantage of his leverage to dictate the terms of their 2017 boxing match, this time, he won’t be able to negotiate the ruleset and change it to punching only, so don’t hold your breath waiting for him to take Floyd up on the challenge.
