You won’t find much busier men than Conor McGregor this month.
The Notorious is set to embark on a 12 day world tour that will see him visit cities such as New York, Rio de Janeiro and Toronto before returning home at the end of the month.
The tour will see McGregor and upcoming opponent Jose Aldo attempt to get even more hype going for their already highly anticipated featherweight title match-up at UFC 189 this summer.
The championship clash is expected to be the toughest of Aldo’s stint as 145lb champion as McGregor’s flashy style and movement creates some potential problems for the more flat-footed Aldo.
And with McGregor’s propensity for trash talk, fireworks are to be expected throughout the media tour.
