Over the years, fans have come to know former UFC double champion well. His every move is documented, almost always by his own social media. He's become predictable in many aspects of his life, yet still maintained the element of surprise in other areas.
As he prepares to make his long-awaited return to the Octagon against Michael Chandler at UFC 303, we have taken a look ahead and tried to predict what we think will happen between night and fight night on the 29th of June. If you place bets on anything on this list, this will be the one to do it on. McGregor is on his own schedule, and he doesn't care about anyone else's time.
McGregor has made it his habit to be fashionably late to press conferences in the past, and we don't expect that trend to end anytime soon. In 2015, he showed up 30 minutes late for the UFC 229 presser. UFC president Dana White and his opponent were on time, though, the Russian refused to wait for McGregor and left before the Irishman had even arrived.
When he did finally show up, he delivered one of his iconic taglines, “He knew what he signed up for. The traffic was kind of heavy. There must be a McGregor fight.
” Let's hope this one doesn't happen, but knowing McGregor, it probably will. Notorious has said and done some wild things over the years, from throwing a dolly through a bus window, to throwing water bottles at a press conference. We don't expect a more tame McGregor, especially if his opponent, , can somehow touch a nerve.
We expect some.
