I mean, who knew? You see this guy dripping in more bling than a Christmas tree in Liberace’s house, and you think, “Nah, no WAY he’s rocking anything but the real deal.” But nope! Turns out, even “Mystic Mac” wasn’t immune to the allure of a convincing knock-off back in the day.
I saw this thing on GQ Sports, or maybe it was YouTube, doesn’t matter, where he was listing his “10 things he can’t live without.” And, of course, watches were on there. He’s got like, Pateks and Rolexes, the kinda stuff that costs more than my car (and probably your car too, let’s be honest). But then bam! Drops the bomb that he used to wear fakes. Like, back when he was starting out in the UFC.
It kinda makes sense, right? You gotta project that image, even if you’re broke as a joke. Fake it ’til you make it, as they say. I think Joe Rogan even talked about it on his podcast or something. I dunno, I’m getting my info from all over the place, sue me.
Anyway, the point is, McGregor confessed to wearing fake watches at press conferences. Can you imagine? All those cameras flashing, the reporters asking questions, and he’s secretly sweating, hoping no one notices the Rolex logo is slightly… off. Lol.
It’s kinda funny, actually. He was trying to impress people, and now he owns the real versions. Full circle, baby! That’s what I call winning. Then he got gifted a real GOLD Rolex eventually! That’s actually sick!
Honestly, I don’t really care if he wore fake watches or not. It’s not like he was hurting anyone. It just makes him seem a little more… relatable, I guess? Like, even the guy who wears $75,000 suits started somewhere. Maybe he bought the fake stuff with money he won betting on himself, just a thought, but still.
The article also mentioned something about him flaunting a $65,000 luxury item. Maybe that’s one of his watches. Who knows! It’s all just a big, shiny, expensive blur to me.
