While some fighters find it hard to be under the spotlight, it is as easy as A-B-C for Conor McGregor. After almost two years of inactivity, the Irishman is returning to the octagon later this year. With the Notorious coming back as a coach at TUF season 31 against Michael Chandler, all eyes are set on him.

Stepping out of a Gucci store in Beverly Hills a few days ago, Conor McGregor proved once again that his knockout fashion sense matches his fighting prowess. Before leaving the place, McGregor stopped for a quick interview with Inside Fighting. In the interview, he discussed arguably the biggest fight of his career.

The interviewer asked the Irishman whether he believes he could emerge victorious in a potential rematch against Floyd Mayweather. McGregor exuded confidence, expressing that he had pondered the matchup extensively and believed he had what it takes to emerge victorious.

“For sure! I’ve been thinking about it a long time and I’ve had a long time to think about it and analyze it. I’d for sure look to. I’d love to go back to my old boxing coaches which I reunited with post-fight. I feel my style has developed.”
