Fans were quick to notice how the MMA legend’s name was misspelled on his seat. Instead of ‘Conor’ McGregor, the tag on the seat read ‘Connor’. While the internet was quick to point out the oversight, McGregor seems to have paid no heed to it.
Taking to social media, he expressed his excitement at being present at the event. He wrote, “Out with the crocodile shoes, stay tuned.” Earlier, he had confirmed his presence at the event. “See you there (Chairman of General Authority for Entertainment Turki AlAlShikh)!” McGregor posted on X. “Thank you for my invite once again to the Kingdom, I cannot wait! (Saudi flag emoji, crown emoji).”
