Conor McGregor’s million dollar watch

Interesting Watches...

Conor McGregor’s million dollar watch: in Abu Dhabi for UFC 257, the MMA millionaire flashed two Jacob & Co. watches and a blinging Bentley

"MMA fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Conor McGregor to the octagon on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi this weekend - and The Notorious is definitely ready. The once-retired UFC champ arrived early, making a lavish entrance befitting the flashiest fighter on earth.

After finishing at a training camp in Dubai, McGregor hired a private yacht to take him to the UAE's neighbouring emirate, before arriving at the W Abu Dhabi hotel in a Rolls-Royce surrounded by a beefed-up security team..."

He’s living a luxury life for sure. I mean for someone who lost his fight to Dustin porier at UFC 256 and was paid a whopping $5,020,000.

Perhaps it’s just me but I think those watches are tasteless and vulgar.

It's every man's god given right to spend $1M on a wrist planetarium if he can afford to do so.

I wonder if his head is really into fighting anymore ...

He’s made his money. Is he hungry? Let’s face it, he’s now where near the top of the lightweight division anymore

Agree but still dangerous to tell him his watches are hideous.

I'm not going to lie, I think it would be really cool if it were larger and a desk clock! I think it looks really neat but not on a wrist.

I give him more credit if rocks a rainbow Daytona. Jacob probably gave him that piece for free. Didn’t Mr.Wonderful received a free Jacob? Lol.

And again overmissed, Poirier was rockin’ a two tone what looked like a date just after his victory. It look great.

+7. McGreror used to style some very decent watches years ago - serious Rolex, Patek and APs.

I think this one is cool with whatever the complications are. (Is that the earth on the stick?) But certainly not for me, even as my one and only safe queen.
