It's a sad day today: Conor McGregor has lost the most important title of his career. Yes that's right kids, he has lost out on the coveted GQ Best-Dressed Man 2017 award. And to who? A nobody. Who even knows who "Drake" is?
This day will forever be remembered as the day Conor was robbed of not only an honour but something he had been working towards for his whole life. As a young child in Dublin, McGregor would often gaze into the windows of Armani and wish one day he could rock an immaculate suit.
And for a short time, he did. But in the eyes of GQ, our dearest Conor's tireless selfies and egotistical posts weren't enough.
Drake instead took the title away from our Irish lad, because GQ somehow forgot that hideous turtleneck or that red jumper in "Hotline Bling". Ugh. Not even a Gucci shirt in sight! How does he live?!!?!?!

On GQ's post explaining the travesty of a number four for our number one, they said:
“I’m a f***ing pimp, rocking all white Gucci mink, and without me, this whole f***ing ship sinks.” The shy and retiring UFC champion Conor McGregor isn’t known for being understated, either in what he says, or how he says it.
But when it comes to his personal style, the Notorious one doesn’t need to make a big noise for everyone to stand up and take notice. Whether it’s his handmade three-piece David August suits, Louis Vuitton python loafers, of Dita Mach-One sunglasses, everything McGregor wears is delivered with all the balls out braggadocio he can muster. “He’s such a style guy... he’s always been that way since the day I met him,” said his tailor, Devid Heil. “He takes everything and makes it his own. It takes a guy with the right mind to pull off these extreme looks, and he does.”
But there’s more to McGregor’s dress sense than mere Rodeo Drive shopping sprees and bling-backed swagger. Every item is hand-picked, thought through and designed to make a statement. Before his last fight in Madison Square Garden, for example, McGregor rolled into town wearing a Coogi sweater inspired by New York hip-hop legend Biggie Smalls. And when he hit the press conference before his fight with Eddie Alvarez, he was mocked by some for dressing in a white mink coat. Fight aficionados, however, noticed that the Irishman’s outfit was a replica of the one worn by Smokin’ Joe Frazier in 1971 before the “Fight of the Century” against Muhammad Ali. Smart guy, smart dresser and a smart arse, to boot." Paul Henderson, Health and Sports Editor, GQ.
Sources say McGregor is holed up in his Kildare mansion, crying into a divine pair of satin trousers.
