Check out Conor McGregor's posh Las Vegas pad ahead of UFC 189

Conor McGregor has decided to call Las Vegas home in the weeks leading up to UFC 189. The title challenger’s digs are pretty posh.

McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who meets longtime featherweight champion Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in UFC 189’s pay-per-view headliner, recently announced his Sin City arrival ahead of the July 11 title fight, which takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

According to McGregor, he and his team will prepare for the fight in Vegas instead of their usual Dublin digs (via Twitter):

It’s not clear who’s footing the bill for the swanky mansion – despite their suggestions to the contrary, UFC officials have previously pampered the polarizing Irishman – and it’s also not clear if the video above, tweeted by McGregor, is actually his pre-fight pad.

Still, McGregor is seemingly living the charmed life, which could become all the sweeter if he upsets McGregor, who’s ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings (and No. 2 pound-for-pound), at UFC 189.
