Conor McGregor’s ‘Fuck You’ suit made its return, and the internet noticed immediately. McGregor stepped into UFC 329 media day in Las Vegas wearing a pinstripe number that immediately drew comparisons to one of the most talked-about pieces of clothing in combat sports history, and he was happy to address it directly when asked.
The Story Behind the Original Conor McGregor ‘Fu*k You’ Suit
For anyone who needs the backstory, Conor McGregor wore a custom David August three-piece suit during the first stop of the McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. press tour in Los Angeles ahead of their August 2017 boxing match.
The pinstripes, on closer inspection, were not pinstripes at all. The pattern was simply the words “F*ck You” repeated across the entire fabric from top to bottom. It was the perfect sartorial expression of everything ‘The Notorious’ was bringing to that press tour, and it broke the internet before social media had even fully developed the vocabulary to describe moments like that.
What Conor McGregor Said About The ‘Fu*k You’ Suit At UFC 329 Media Day
Asked whether this was the same legendary suit or a new version, Conor McGregor cleared it up immediately:
“This is a similar style to it. I was only saying we broke the internet back then with that one. This isn’t the f*ck you, but it’s a different one. It is the suit, but it’s titled with 1xBet, who’s a partner of mine. So, you know, we showed them, love. They support the Mac in the camp and I’m grateful for all the support from my business associates and my team and then my fans. I’m grateful beyond measure for my fans and their loyalty and their excitement here. And as much as I’m back for the love of the game, I am back for the love of the fans.”
That last sentence is the one worth keeping. Five years away, everything he has been through personally and legally, and McGregor is standing in Las Vegas in a statement suit telling the world the fans brought him back. July 11 against Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway at T-Mobile Arena is where that gratitude gets expressed in the only language that has ever truly mattered for ‘Notorious’.
The suit carries the same silhouette and pinstripe energy as the Mayweather original, but this version comes with a blue interior lining embroidered with the 1xBet logo, a subtle but sharp detail that balances the statement tailoring with the sponsorship acknowledgment. Same theatre, different chapter.
