Alistair Overeem was recently spotted wearing Conor McGregor's "F*** You" suit at the GLORY Collision 4 presser.
Overeem is set to take on Badr Hari for the third time in his career at the GLORY Collision 4 event. 'The Demolition Man' donned a similar coat of the famous three-piece that the Irishman wore during a Las Vegas press conference for his fight against Floyd Mayweather.
Anybody mentioned that Alistair Overeem was wearing Conor McGregor's 'Fuck You' suit at today's GLORY Collision 4 presser? https://t.co/9WfjCASCZO
The Irishman put his brass personality on display as he arrived for a presser in that attire. Fans were left captivated by the design of the three-piece. Customers demanded for a replica of the suit to be released so that they can own it as well.
The suit was designed by the famous David Sugust Heil. High-profile celebrities like the late Kobe Bryant, DJ Khaled, and more are Heil's clients.
Along with his fighting skills, McGregor is known for dressing up for the occasion whenever he is seen in public. It wasn't a surprise that he donned an expensive outfit for his first showdown with Mayweather. However, the emblem was certainly a surprise. When asked about the idea of the writing, here's what Heil stated on the same:
"The idea originated internally. The expression was the perfect juxtaposition to the traditional pinstripe suit. I wanted to use fighting words." (h/t complex.com)
