Returning to the Octagon at #UFC202 to avenge his sole loss in the promotion at the hands of #NateDiaz, Conor McGregor strutted into the Octagon a la #VinceMcMahon. Made famous in the #WWE through the sporting mogul"s cocky Power Walk entrance, the Irishman has adopted the act for himself. Newly dubbed the Billionaire Strut," the walk has become an iconic staple in Mystic Macs Octagon entrances.
However, UFC 202 wasnt the first time weve seen Conor McGregor perform the boastful strut. Its long been in his arsenal.
