UFC superstar Conor McGregor is the type of personality whose presence encompasses all disciplines – from sports to business and now even Hollywood. While there’s no doubt that the Irishman relishes the immense popularity that he commands, sometimes it gets out of hand. And unwanted attention is one of the drawbacks of being too famous – which he is quite aware of.

For instance, the former double champ was recently in the cross-hair of a rather unusual individual in the form of Dallas Mavericks star JaVale McGee. The NBA star who plays alongside Luka Doncic had made a remark on McGregor in a very recent Facebook post to the bewilderment of fans. Since the fighter hasn’t responded, fans wondered why the NBA star pulled this bizarre stunt out of the blue.

Making a reference to McGregor’s infamous statement to Dustin Poirier, McGee posted a status on Facebook tagging McGregor, much to the amusement of fans.

Expected timeline of McGregor’s return against Michael Chandler

Despite all the noise taking place outside the octagon, fans expect McGregor to make a strong comeback this year. More importantly, he is back in the mix of the title picture with his stint at the TUF house against Michael Chandler following his loss to Poirier.

But although his comeback is imminent, it’s the issue with USADA’s regulations that appears to be a hurdle for the 34-year-old.
