McGregor wore Versace sunglasses as he sat alongside his wife Dee Devlin at Saturday’s megafight.
He wore a light grey suit paired with a green and yellow open-collar shirt.
Sharp-eyed fans were quick to notice that McGregor was wandering around backstage with an unlit cigar.
One fan wrote on Axe: “Conor McGregor walking around with an unlit cigar is more entertaining than I should be.”
Another confused viewer added: “Is McGregor actually going to smoke that cigar or just smoke it all night?”
While a third added: “You can’t smoke indoors so is McGregor just sitting there rocking an unlit cigar? Make it a mint.”
The Notorious soaked up the atmosphere as he entered the arena filled with 96,000 fan companions.
TV cameras captured him putting the cigar to his lips – but not lighting it.

When asked to give his prediction for the contest, he told DAZN: “I think it’s going to be a good, close fight.
“It could go either way. Dubois is very quiet, but Joshua is in form.
“So I’m excited to see this come to life.”
McGregor saw Dubois dominate AJ, knocking him down multiple times before finishing him in the fifth round.
The Irishman loved the fight, jumping for joy when Dubois knocked Joshua down for the first time.
McGregor returns
McGregor hopes to be able to finalise his long-awaited return to the UFC.
The 36-year-old’s potential comeback clash with Michael Chandler fell through last week.
UFC boss Dana White has suggested McGregor’s first UFC fight since July 2021 will take place next year.
“This year I was the one saying I don’t think he’s going to fight this year, amid all the talk and stuff,” White told the New York Post.
“Conor McGregor will fight next year, in early 2025.”
