Is it November yet? For perhaps the biggest event in UFC history, the UFC may have just held one of their best announcement press conferences ever. If their was a scale that rated UFC pressers from 1-10, this UFC 205 in New York would be the best because it rates at a 11.
On a stage that was star studded Conor McGregor didn’t have a chance to steal the show because he simply was the show. Vintage Mystic Mac! All the other fighters on the dais, excluding Joanna Champion and her latest mortal enemy, were even dressed in a custom tailored suit like McGregor.
You can clone the likeness of McGregor but you can not replicate his voice chip. To their credit Chris Weidman, Tyron Woodley and of course Joanna Jedrzejczyk had their own memorable promo moments at the UFC 205 press conference. But did any of them make the seven best legendary moments from the UFC 205 press conference?
