The guy who plays “The Mountain” on “Game of Thrones” says he MAJORLY “held back” when he sparred Conor McGregor back in 2015 … because he coulda Prince Oberyn’d the guy for real.
You remember the video … 6’9”, 400-pound Icelandic strongman Hafthor Julius Bjornsson toyed with the 5’9″ UFC star in a training sesh in Ireland before Conor’s big fight against Jose Aldo.
Hafthor talked about the throwdown with RT Sport and said he went easy because, “If I would push all my power into him, I would crush him. Crush him.”
“I had to hold myself back because I have too much power for a man his size.”
He’s right.
R.I.P. Oberyn’s face.
