The UFC 229 press conference set for Thursday at Radio City Music Hall is still closed to the public, UFC officials today told MMAjunkie. Former two-division champion Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) sparked headlines Tuesday night when he announced on social media that fans will be allowed into the event, offering buyers of his recently released Irish whiskey a spot at the front of the line. However, two people MMAjunkie spoke to on condition of anonymity contradicted the UFC star, saying no changes have been made to the current plan, which calls for the press conference to air live on ESPN and on the “Mega Zilla” television in Times Square. “The press conference is closed to public,” one official said. “It’s a media only event.” Well, I will never put anything past Conor McGregor, but a UFC official tells me tomorrow's press conference is still NOT open to the public
