Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor has reportedly apologized to Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza and has been granted entry to the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight by the network.
According to sources, McGregor reached out to Espinoza to apologize for some of the negative comments he had made about Showtime in the past. The network had reportedly been hesitant to allow McGregor to attend the Davis-Garcia fight due to these comments, but after the apology, they changed their stance.
McGregor has a history with both Davis and Garcia, having exchanged verbal jabs with the two fighters on social media in the past. Despite not currently competing in MMA, McGregor remains a high-profile figure in combat sports and his attendance at the Davis-Garcia fight is expected to draw attention from fans and media alike.
Overall, McGregor’s apology and subsequent entry to the Davis-Garcia fight show that even in the competitive world of combat sports, it’s possible for rivalries to be put aside and for individuals to come together in a spirit of mutual respect and sportsmanship.
