UFC Champ Conor McGregor Storms UFC 223 Presser, Wreaks Havoc Backstage
Pre-event UFC media days are typically humdrum, with most fighters too drained from their weight cut to really talk and little to no drama to be had. Every once in a while, though, something interesting happens on the Thursday before a fight.
This Thursday was one of those rare treats as UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor showed up unannounced as media day was wrapping up. MMA journalist Jim Edwards was on the scene, tweeting that, "all that was said was 'Where did they go?' They then got instructed to take the elevator down into the arena where the fighters had left to catch coaches back to the fighter hotel."
