The Irishman arrived bare-chested in a fleet of Rolls Royces before he hosted a DJ set at a. nightclub and even attended a house party. It was also claimed he tried to tempt out fellow fighter Pimblett.‌But as the pair prepare to share the same card at UFC 329 this weekend - McGregor against Max Holloway and Pimblett against Benoit Saint-Denis - Pimblett put the rumours to bed.‌"It's a load of s****. It never happened at all," he said. "When he was in Liverpool, people said that he knocked on me house. Some people made it up that he wanted to fight me, some people made it up like he wanted to get me out to party with him. This is like 2017, I was still fighting on Cage Warriors, but I was still living in my mum's at the time, and she has cameras on the house, and no one knocked on our door. Unless he knocked on the wrong door."Pimblett also played down the appeal of appearing on McGregor's undercard in what will be the Dubliner's first fight in five years. "This is just another fight to me, you know what I mean?" he added. 'I'm back in Vegas, fighting again. It's just a lot less pressure this time because all the pressure's on Conor. He's got more media than anyone, and I normally have the most media, so it's just another fight."Article continues belowWatch UFC 329: McGregor vs Holloway 2 exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office via HBO Max, EE TV, Virgin Media TV, Prime Video and Sky.
