Bizarre scenes as McGregor uses MMA moves in boxing bout

Images have emerged from Conor McGregor's latest sparring session, appearing to show the UFC star using MMA moves in the boxing ring.

McGregor himself posted the bizarre images to his oficial Instagram account on Sunday, as he continues to prepare for his much-anticipated boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather.

However it looks like the UFC champion could use a refresher course on the rules of boxing.

It appears as though McGregor is kneeing and punching his opponent while down, much like what you'd see in MMA.

McGregor has previosuly been warned that any MMA moves will not be tolerated against Mayweather, with instant disqualification and a huge fine looming.

Perhaps he's just missing the UFC, or is he trying to get into Mayweather's head with his usual mind games?

Or maybe he's trying to increase hype for the August 27 fight, with fans not exactly storming the box office to buy tickets.

An online check revealed hundreds - even thousands - of seats still available from Ticketmaster at the T-Mobile Arena.

There are so many open seats that fans with enough room left on their credit cards can buy six tickets together in 162 different spots throughout the 20,000 seat arena.
