LAS VEGAS — There is a bettor somewhere holding a ticket who is perplexed, wondering how what seemed to be a sure thing went wrong so badly. The sports book BetOnline put up a proposition bet earlier in the week that asked, “How late will Conor McGregor be to the [the UFC 246] press conference?”
The over/under was 6½ minutes.
If McGregor, the former featherweight and lightweight champion who will fight for the first time in 15 months on Saturday when he meets Donald Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246 at T-Mobile Arena, is known for anything other than being a great fighter, it is for being late.
