Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos BOSTON – In case there was any doubt, we learned on Thursday that Conor McGregor is a crowd pleaser. The brash Irish superstar thrilled fans at a UFC Gym location in Boston with a lengthy open workout, eschewing the tradition typical of fighters in these pre-bout formalities to just do a light few minutes of photo-op material and call it a day. Instead, McGregor spent roughly 30 minutes just warming up and stretching before he even brought in a training partner to hit pads and grapple with. McGregor later said he didn’t know any better – that he was just doing what he always does. (For the record, his opponent, Dennis Siver, didn’t just go through the motions today, nor did co-main event fighters Benson Henderson and Donald Cerrone.) McGregor (16-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) headlines UFC Fight Night 59 against Siver (22-9 MMA, 11-6 UFC) on Sunday at TD Garden in Boston.
