Back in his heyday, UFC star Conor McGregor made himself known for his skills both on the mic and in the Octagon. “The Notorious” birthed many catchphrases, one of them being the “red panty night” concept he made famous during a 2016 press conference.
“You fight me, it’s a celebration,” McGregor told Rafael dos Anjos at the time. “When you sign to fight me, it’s a celebration. You ring back home, you ring your wife. ‘Baby, we’d done it! We’re rich, baby! Conor McGregor made us rich! Break out the red panties!”
That little phrase has since been used across the sport, and it apparently became a running joke between Aldo and McGregor, as well.
