Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier failed to settle their rivalry over the weekend — but for many, it didn't even matter — the evening belonged to the Twitter-anointed fashion king, Jared Leto.
The House of Gucci star entered the UFC 264 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a black button-up shirt with a plunging v-neck straight out of the early '00s, accentuated by a small, powder blue necktie.
