But he was caught off guard by one reporter who began impersonating the Irishman.
The journalist produced a brilliant McGregor accent, including some of his best known phrases.
McGregor looked perplexed before bursting out laughing as he responded with his well known saying.
The Notorious said: "It sounds like I'm talking. Who the f**k is that? Who the f**k is that guy?"
Fans loved the interaction with many applauding the impression.
One reacted saying: "I’ll give it 10/10 to the media member impersonating Conor like that."
Another added: "Conor McGregor was up there wondering if they cloned him💀"
A third wrote: "Such a Interesting press meet this is 😂"

EXCLUSIVE: Conor McGregor eyeing December UFC return against Michael Chandler at UFC 310 after toe injury
MMA's poster boy was set to make his grand return last month in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas against Michael Chandler.
But the Irishman suffered a broken left pinky toe in one of his final sparring sessions before he was due to jet out to Sin City and the fight was scrapped.
McGregor, 36, initially earmarked late August or early September for his rescheduled return.
But SunSport understands the UFC has all of their pay-per-view headliners finalised - with the exception of their December show.
And McGregor admits he likes the idea of topping the bill of UFC 310, which is slated to take place on December 14.
Inside McGregor's Notorious lifestyle
With more sides to his personality than an Octagon, Conor McGregor's rise has been an enthralling watch.
Going from UFC icon to entrepreneur and Hollywood star, the Irishman has transcended the sport he helped bring to the masses.
He has four children with fiancee Dee Devlin and the family enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
McGregor has not fought in UFC since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021.
That has not stopped him amassing a net worth of over £150m thanks to his Proper No Twelve whiskey and fashion line.
And he is due to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 in an eagerly-awaited headline clash with Michael Chandler.
McGregor also starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Amazon Prime remake of classic movie Road House, although he is dreading his mum seeing one X-rated scene.
Notorious turned up to the premiere in a £60,000 suit that was outdone by his £460k watch.
The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus.
He pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a pub in 2018 and had his £150k Bentley seized by police for driving offences four years later.
Joe Rogan lashed out at McGregor in a four-letter outburst and the Irishman has also fired shots at Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury.
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather also has McGregor on his enemy list after the pair clashed in a cross-sport bout in 2017.
