Conor McGregor will be a heavy underdog when he faces Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Aug. 26, but the UFC lightweight champion may be set to approach the ring in style.
On Thursday, McGregor tweeted a photo of a robe that was sent to him by Versace:

McGregor has already made some intriguing fashion statements during the build toward the fight, including wearing a suit pinstriped with the words “f–k you” at a press event with Mayweather.
The 29-year-old Irishman has oozed with confidence since the fight was announced, but few are giving him a legitimate chance.
Although he is 21-3 in his MMA career and a two-division champion, his only boxing experience aside from his recent training is amateur in nature.
Conversely, Mayweather is arguably one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time with wins over the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya on his resume.
