The second press conference promoting UFC 229 will take place and it’ll be open to the public.
Fight fans were disappointed upon hearing the news that a press conference featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor would be for media members only. McGregor fired on all cylinders, calling “The Eagle” a coward to the Chechen people and calling out Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz on his past.
While the public was closed off from the presser, that didn’t stop them from waiting outside of Radio City Music Hall in New York City to see McGregor make his exit. Before taking off in a limousine, McGregor greeted his fans. There’s no doubt that the intensity of the presser left fans wanting more.
