After Game of Thrones fans watched in horror as The Mountain in "Game of Thrones" literally crushed the head of Oberyn Martell in their infamous fight scene in Season Four of the HBO series, it's hard to believe that anyone would dare to take on the real life viking: Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, the 6 foot 9, 400-pound strong man from Iceland.
But UFC Interim Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor was up to the challenge and lived to tell the tale. In just-under three and a half minute sparring session that was uploaded on to YouTube, the two fighting men go at it in a friendly bare knuckled match, wearing no protective gear.
While the spar itself was quite uneventful, it is amazing to see the two men, each with their own unique fighting strengths go at it for a bought.
Conor McGregor, standing at 5 feet 9 inches and weighing just 145 pounds is practically dwarfed by the man of Viking lineage who truly lives up to his "Game of Thrones" character name, The Mountain that Rides.
Check out the two veritable killing machines go at it for their three-minute friendly spar. Don't worry, no brains were crushed like overripe melons in the making of this video.
