UFC 189 World Tour Press Conference Live From Dublin
Unveiling a massive 10-day, 10-city World Championship Tour for the anticipated and heated featherweight title clash between longtime champ Jose Aldo and brash challenger Conor McGregor, it’s safe to say that the UFC has never spent the amount of money nor time to promote a fight as it has for July 11’s UFC 189 main event from Las Vegas, Nevada.
The bitter enemies have been forced to spend nearly every waking hour in one another’s presence, engaging in constant staredowns as Aldo attempts to brush off McGregor’s non-stop trash talk. That strategy has largely worked thus far aside from a brief talk show incident where McGregor supposedly slapped Aldo; something that “Junior” (and video evidence) later confirmed was not true.
Today (Tues., March 31, 2015) the UFC 189 World Championship Tour has finally reached its climax in McGregor’s hometown of Dublin, Ireland, with the final presser airing above right now.
It promises to be a heated affair. McGregor promised to “slap Aldo in Dublin” in today’s ninth episode of UFC 189 World Tour Embedded, lending to the belief that we could be in for some fireworks:
