Conor McGregor's acting chops are really being put to the test.
The latest instalment of The Thirteenth Jockey, the comedy sketch which is being used to advertise the upcoming $12 Million Pegasus World Cup Invitational, is going viral on a weekly basis. And McGregor's the star.
We've already seen 'The Notorious' act alongside his "trainer", played by American comedian and actor Jon Lovitz for two weeks running.

Pegasus takes place at the end of this month and it comes as no surprise that "the world’s richest Thoroughbred horse race" has enlisted the help of the wealthiest mixed martial artist on the planet.
And the third episode of the series is perhaps the most bizarre of the bunch as the reigning UFC lightweight champion ponders what to wear for his horceracing debut.
McGregor decides to ditch his outfit for the race or, as he puts it, "I want to ride bareback, stark-bollocks naked!"

At least the last thirty seconds of the clip goes some way to explaining this picture which baffled everyone when it did the rounds at Christmastime.
