Charlie Hunnam Ready to Fight off UFC Superstar Conor McGregor?

No doubt, the "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam is one of the toughest, fierce-looking actors in Hollywood but does he have all the guts to fight off one of the biggest UFC fighters in the world?

Apparently not that tough, according to Mstarz, Hunnam thinks that he is not at par to battle a Conor McGregor.

"I was just doing a film and I had to lose a lot of weight and that's why I'm a little skinny right now and I got down to 145 pounds, which was my goal, and I thought maybe I could fight Conor McGregor but I don't think it would go too well for me," Hunnam candidly suggests when spotted by the crew of TMZ. "Maybe seven and a half seconds before getting knocked out but it would be a great seven and a half seconds."

The "Pacific Rim" actor even added that, "I feel like I could evade him for seven and a half seconds. He comes out quick."

A solid fan of the Irish UFC fighter and Mixed Martial Arts, Hunnam even said that he already bought tickets for McGregor's Dec. 12 fight with Jose Aldo.

Hunnam who is currently getting ready to portray the role of "King Arthur" for the movie "Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur" is also inspired by the UFC featherweight champion's workouts and video fights. Apart from losing a lot of weight for the role, Hunnam also trains to look the part and uses McGregor's videos to prep up for his role according to Fox Sports.

"Hunnam has been a fan of mixed martial arts for several years and has even attended grappling shows like Metamoris in the past," based from the article. "He's also been an avid boxer for most of his life and the actor says watching and mimicking McGregor helped him train for his upcoming role."

This will be exciting for the fans of Hunnam who misses the "Sons of Anarchy" actor portray some epic adventure action. Catch Charlie Hunnam in "Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur" in 2016.
