Attire is an important part of the wrestling industry. In fact, it’s an important part of the combat sports industry, both inside and outside the ring. To prove this, the industry has Don Callis and Conor McGregor. But, there can be only one OG!

According to Callis, it’s him. He believes he’s the one who has taken fashion in the industry one step up, and started wearing bright coloured suits, especially Pink. Therefore, when McGregor wore something of similar shade, Callis took it upon himself to appreciate McGregor but with a twist.

Don Callis’ narcissism reached peak when he claimed McGregor is a celebrity version of Callis, but a mini one! It’s a good thing that McGregor wasn’t present in front of Callis when he said that, otherwise things could have been rough, like it was for Machine Gun Kelly.

On the other hand, some refuse to excuse McGregor because commenting on an opponent’s partner is outside the realm of the sportsman spirit.

Currently, McGregor is on medical suspension by UFC until January 2022.
