Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza says he was caught ‘off guard’ by Conor McGregor comments

TORONTO — One of Conor McGregor’s more stunning diatribes during a wild, raucous world tour stop Wednesday was when he ambled over to Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza on stage and called him a “f*cking weasel” twice.
McGregor was upset that his microphone was cut off Tuesday during the MayMac World Tour stop in Los Angeles. Espinoza said Wednesday that it was technical difficulties at Staples Center and not a Showtime choice to mute “The Notorious.”
