If there’s one thing Conor McGregor knows how to do—besides throwing punches and expensive whiskey—it's making an entrance that leaves everyone questioning reality.

This time he outdid himself at a BKFC press conference in Italy by strutting before the crowd like a Roman emperor flanked by a full marching band of trumpets and drums.

Was he going to call a fight, command a medieval army, or dance off with someone in the middle of the battle? No one had an idea. The only thing lacking was a red carpet and someone attempting to throw rose petals in front of him.

In true McGregor fashion, he didn’t just come; he descended like a man in his head who truly believes that "I'm the main character in every room."

As the trumpets blared and drums pounded, McGregor strutted in like he was ready to claim the Italian throne. Reporters looked around to ask whether this was a press conference and not the grand final of a Renaissance fair.

Even the BKFC fighters, who are no strangers to wild antics and were familiar with the same of others, seemed unsure whether they would clap, bow, or check if they accidentally wandered into a royal coronation.

In the distance, an opera singer is probably warming up just in case McGregor decides his next move is a dramatic aria. One thing was clear: subtlety has never been, and will never be, in this man's vocabulary.

As soon as the video went viral, someone (@thecomex) took to his X account and commented:

"That sure was ridiculous. Why would someone do that!"

The question loses its meaning when Conor McGregor is involved. He is a man who once threw the dolly at a bus, retired from fighting for fun multiple times, and strutted around the octagon like a billionaire rooster.

At this point questioning McGregor’s antics is like asking why the sky is blue—it just is, and the only thing to do is sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

And just as expected, the internet did what it does best—explode with reactions ranging from sheer admiration to utter confusion. Was it legendary? Was it ridiculous? Was it both? Absolutely.

No one shows up to an event like Conor McGregor, and no one walks away without an opinion. Let’s take a minute to explain what the Twitter users had to say!

"It’s like he has become some kind of weird comic sketch parody of himself. It’s surreal to watch."

Another user (via @zogger13) commented:

"Am I imagining things or this kinda felt like the og Conor we haven't seen for a long time"

A user (via @AzPatriot_1) quipped:

"This is the clownish stuff that made me never able to support him"

"feels like some weird movie scene"

A netizen (via @jmacyourlife) sarcastically commented:

"Weekly dose of clownery from Conor"

What did you think of Conor McGregor on Sunday night? Was it necessary? Not even a little. But was it peak McGregor? Without a doubt. Whether you love it or cringe at it, one thing is for sure—he doesn't just enter the room; McGregor arrives!

And if his goal was to steal the spotlight, the task was completed. What's next? A press conference via helicopter? Riding in on an elephant? A full Broadway-style musical number? With McGregor, nothing is off the table, and that’s exactly why we keep watching.
