GQ ‘Most Stylish Man of the Year’ nomination for Notorious

Conor McGregor had a good year.

He and longtime partner Dee Devlin found out they are having a baby in May. He became the first UFC fighter, ever, to hold two belts at the same time; he still literally holds them, too. He made Forbes’ 100 paid athletes list. He has a role in Game of Thrones. He is in the new Call of Duty Game.

Now The Mac Life reports that Notorious has been nominated for GQ’s “Most Stylish Man of the Year.” The 64-man bracket opening round includes boxing devotees Justin Trudeau vs. Justin Beiber, David Beckham vs. Brooklyn Beckham, and A$AP Rocky vs. Chance the Rapper.

McGregor faces off first with comedian Kevin Hart.

Both men here are known for putting stitches in people (that is, the literal kind and the ROFL kind),” explain the editors of GQ. “When it comes to their personal style, both have displayed a level of fearlessness that should be commended. Hart prides himself on his humble attitude and dedication to fitness, while McGregor is a braggadocios cage fighter with a dedication to not giving a damn what anyone thinks. (The man wears fur coats like the rest of us wear peacoats.) Where Hart makes up ground is with his Nike deal, which allowed him to design and release his own sneaker in 2016.”

If McGregor gets by this challenge, he will face the winner of Drake and DJ Khaled. Winning that one brings him suit to suit with previous tournament champion Kanye West.

McGregor is currently in the lead 76 to 24 percent! You can vote here, early and often, so McGregor gets some momentum heading into the suitoff with Kanye.
