In a recent video that has been circulating on the Internet, the Irishman was seen recording himself. After watching the video, many believed that McGregor was clearly intoxicated. His mannerisms give away the truth. McGregor has proved several times that no one has the liberty to tell him what to do; however, many have come forward to state that his behavior is pathetic, considering the current position he is in.

The UFC legend Chael Sonnen took to his YouTube channel to talk about the grave mistake McGregor committed. ‘The American Gangster’ said “If you’re gonna be drunk Conor, you shouldn’t be drunk Conor in a mentor position over at the TUF house. They don’t need to see you that way… What part of that do we see as mentorship? What part do we start to judge Conor and say, ‘Okay, you’re not taking this serious,’ … Leadership 101 is not, ‘I come over, put the troops in a tough situation, then hit the door and go to a good one myself.‘”

Sonnen condemned McGregor for setting the wrong example for the budding fighters.
