    Any chance Conor will be part of the upcoming UFC presser for upcoming fights?? I doubt it, he barely even turns up now to the events in the week leading up to his fight.

    Which fight was that? :confused:

    Since Diaz 2 fight he has been turning up so late to the point that the presser is mostly ruined.
    Khabib left the last one so we didn’t get any back and forth between them.
    Alverez had left but came back, and presser was enjoyable.
    Diaz walked off and near riot happened, then had to be stopped.
    Just cos he became massive superstar doesn’t mean he shouldn’t turn up on time, or at least not so late so as to spoil things.
    The last presser he was there on time was the announcement for ufc205.

    All these Jon Jones headliners this year are getting boring now. He is too good and fights too 1-sided unless he fights Cormier again. Also need to see Cormier vs Stipe again.
    We need Conor back headlining and doing it regular like 2015/16.
    Or at least get Covington in there to entertain us.

    Cormier has a big payday coming vs Lesnar and then hes retiring.

    I agree the turning up late is a pain in the hole. But that wasn't in the post I quoted.

    Both Diaz fights, Eddie, Khabib.
    There was media events before all of them. Some where fun, some were cringy, one turned into a brawl. Conor was at them all.
    I don't remember any fight were he did't do media before it.

    None since 189 were as big as the world tour, understandably so imo.

    The week leading up to Mcgregor fights are fantastic. Pressers are entertaining and weigh-ins are in front of thousands of mostly Irish fans. And that’s all down to him, so such a shame it’s not happening so much now.
    For mayweather fight the 4 press conferences were far better than the fight. Unreal the way both of them could speak and act with that much confidence and arrogance.
    Others can be good too but don’t reach the scale of Mcgregor.

    Same. But I'll at least wait a few hours until somebody has timestamped the start time in the comments. Would never sit there live, staring at an empty stage.
    My if it was a non even big announcement type, as those tend to start on time.

    I was just gonna say that. He has big sweaty pit stains in a lot of photos. Can't be helped in the American heat most of the time I guess.

    Looks like all is good between Conor and John. I see some comments saying it's a farewell between both but I can't picture Conor not having John in his Conor for his last few fights (if he does fight again)

    I can get the farewell vibe of it myself, reminiscing about the good old times because things are different now..... But at the same time I don't see anyone else in his corner :pac:

    Time will tell anyway.
