Conor McGregor gave fans a lighter moment during UFC 329 fight week, teaching Nina Drama how to pull off his famous billionaire strut.
McGregor is back in full showman mode ahead of his long-awaited return against Max Holloway on July 11. The suits, the quotes, the cameras, the walk, all of it has returned with him. But away from the sharper fight-week exchanges, ‘The Notorious’ also shared a wholesome backstage moment with Nina Drama.
In a clip shared by Championship Rounds on X, McGregor can be seen explaining the mechanics of his iconic walk, a strut that became one of the most recognisable gestures of his rise to superstardom.
While teaching Nina how to perform the strut, McGregor delivered the kind of line only he could make sound like serious coaching.
“First of all, lead with your balls.”
Nina quickly replied:
“But I don’t have balls.”
McGregor immediately adjusted the lesson, saying:
“Lead with your ovaries.”

Conor McGregor Gives Nina Drama a Lesson in Fight Week Swagger
The exchange instantly turned into one of the more wholesome clips from UFC 329 fight week. Nina then attempted the strut herself, and by the end of the video, she appeared to pull it off with Conor McGregor’s approval.
The billionaire strut has long been attached to McGregor’s persona. It is not just a walk. It became part of the theatre that helped separate him from almost every other fighter in the sport. During his rise through featherweight and lightweight, McGregor used every entrance, press conference, staredown, and media appearance to create a character fans could not ignore.
That is why even a playful backstage moment carries attention. McGregor’s return has not just been about whether he can still fight. It has also been about whether the entire McGregor machine still feels alive.
So far, fight week has shown plenty of the old energy. He has brought back statement suits, traded words over Holloway’s training, spoken about the pointdown threat, and now handed Nina Drama a lesson in one of the most famous walks in combat sports.
The moment did not need trash talk or tension to land. It worked because it showed McGregor in a different mode, relaxed, funny, and fully aware of the mythology around him.
Same walk. New student. Classic McGregor.
