Despite Conor McGregor’s claims to the contrary, Thursday’s UFC 229 press conference in New York is still closed to the public.
On Tuesday, McGregor tweeted that the way to gain access to the highly-anticipated event was to purchase a bottle of his new Proper No. Twelve whiskey. The UFC had previously announced that the Khabib vs. Conor press conference was only open to credentialed media.
The Las Vegas-based promotion recently reiterated that statement following McGregor’s proclamation.
“The press conference is closed to public,” a UFC official told MMAjunkie.com.
