Conor McGregor has been away from the sport for a meaningful period, which led some to believe that he will not have the star attraction when he returns to the octagon.

In a recent interview, when a reporter brought up the fight purse that Cerrone is going to receive for UFC 246 and “the red panty nights” that comes along with it, Conor seemed a bit confused in the beginning, but then laugh at the term that he coined many years ago.
“They will celebrate that win or lose. I am gonna have a good night I have stained from my Proper 12 whiskey for good while now, I think 5 or 6 months that must be at this stage. it feels like six years but I will have a good night a few sips and then I spend the next day with my family and the kids and then just regroup and get back into training.”
Conor also stated that every night is a red panty night for him even if he is not fighting.
