As you can see, McGregor was gifted a great big bastard of a sword.

People immediately began asking where the hell this thing came from, and McGregor has today told MMAFighting.com the back-story behind the tweet.

I woke up one day and a woman from the hotel in Boston came up with a giant sword, literally. It had a McGregor crest. Anyway, I wake up one morning, knock on the door and it's a woman from the hotel with a big sword. Someone had dropped it with a letter. It was from a fellow McGregor saying, 'You inspire me and this is for you.' It was a claymore sword. It was basically the sword they fought with in the Scottish highlands back in the day when they were swinging that thing on a horse. I tell you what, it is a heavy sword. It's the real deal.

We can't think of a much more badass gift to give a UFC fighter. Imagine opening your hotel room door to see a member of staff standing there with that thing!
