CONOR MCGREGOR today swapped the octagon for the ocean as he went water bike racing with Charlene, Princess of Monaco.
The pair zoomed around the water off the coast of Monte Carlo as they prepare for an epic September challenge.
They also beamed for a picture alongside other halves Dee Devlin and Albert II, Prince of Monaco.

The Irishman, who appears to be loving life post-UFC, took to Instagram after enjoying a perfect day in the principality.
He wrote: "A great day racing the water bikes with Princess Charlene of Monaco.
"A phenomenal athlete and Olympian, we are teaming up for a 180km voyage in September to raise awareness in water safety. I cannot wait.
"We will be utilising my training under the McGregor F.A.S.T program to excel on these mounted water bike devices, which are incredibly good!
"It is like freedom out there! Thank you for the great day for my family Your Highness. In aid of the Princess Charlene of Monaco foundation."
The foundation, formed in 2012, raises awareness through such initiatives as "Water Safety" and "Learn to Swim".
