Conor McGregor is always down for a good staredown. Over the weekend, the former UFC champion attended BKFC’s Knucklemania event in Philadelphia and stared down Jeremy Stephens after his win against Eddie Alvarez.

Lopez spoke about the encounter with McGregor while speaking with the media after the game.
“He asked me how tall I was,” said Lopez. “I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did. And I knew at that point once I got up I had had to size him up. You know, I had to do a little something. I’ve seen the face-offs before so I had to do my part.”
