Conor McGregor’s outfit choice for Brooklyn press conference got everybody talking

Just like Shawn Michaels

Conor McGregor has changed things up.

Oh, you thought that ‘The Notorious’ couldn’t top the ensemble from Tuesday night, when he sported a suit with the words ‘Fuck You’ acting as pinstripes?

You’d be wrong.

McGregor and Mayweather kept the crowd waiting for the third press conference of their promotional world tour.

90 minutes elapsed before the livestream even got started, with everyone spouting their own theory about what had held things up.

The consensus was that neither man wanted to give an inch and come to the arena first so delayed their arrivals.

As it turned out, McGregor was the first fighter to walk through the metal detectors at the Barclays Centre and he did so in some style.

UFC reporter Megan Olivi captured the Irishman’s arrival and even she couldn’t stifle her laughter at the sight of a barechested McGregor strolling into the venue with a mink coat draped around his shoulders.

It’s safe to say that the reigning UFC lightweight champion has showed up with his A-Game.

A!

Game!
