Conor McGregor loves to look good; A good wristwatch makes a look a thousand times better, and ‘The Notorious’ definitely has a hang of donning exceptional watches. However, recently, the Irish superstar faced an embarrassment because of his lovely watch.

Recently, the former UFC dual champion was at a Chopard event. An event coined as ‘Gentlemen’s Evening’ at the Chopard rooftop saw ‘The Notorious‘ wearing a Patek Philippe watch.
