Welcome to the wacky world of MMA.
We are just one night away from the much anticipated first press conference between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
UFC 229 Buildup
Conor Mcgregor has been posting pictures of his hard training lately, and he posted a few more in the last couple of days.

Wonder how such an art piece found its way to a garage?!
Conor also went against the UFC in announcing his own plans for the first presser.
The press conference will be open to the public.

But it turned out to be just a marketing ploy for his new business venture.
The ticket for entry is a bottle of @ProperWhiskey.
2 bottles and you skip the Q to the top.
My soldiers will be outside making sure this rule is strictly adhered to.
