We’re not used to seeing this Conor McGregor.

No suit, no sunglasses, not raising his voice once. Conor McGregor was very bloody relaxed at the UFC 194 press conference on Wednesday night.

Previously in the evening, McGregor had claimed to be in a state of Zen just three nights ahead of his featherweight title unification bout against Jose Aldo.

And he maintained composed when answering a question about what he made of Tyson Fury’s claims earlier this week that McGregor had copied him every thing he’s done.

“There are many times in the game you get compared to other fighters,” McGregor said. “I’ve been compared to everybody.

“I’ve been compared to Chael. I’ve been compared to Anderson. I’ve been compared to Diaz. I’ve been compared to Muhammad Ali. And now you’re trying to compare me to Tyson Fury.

“I’ll continue to say that I am my own man. I am on my own journey.

“Tyson is an amusing character but I am me! I am nobody else but me.”
