Conor McGregor is always in the limelight! Be it for his Hollywood debut, the new business ventures he does, or the much-awaited UFC 303 bout against Michael Chandler. Recently he was again in the headlines, but for another reason. ‘The Notorious’ was seen partying late in the night with his fiancé Dee Devlin just a few days before the much-awaited fight. Naturally, the UFC world was stunned and started questioning him about his training and health.

Even Joe Rogan and his guest, Craig Jones could not help but speculate about the matter! They recently gave their take on the scenario and tried to make sense of the incident. According to Jones, there is more than what meets the eye in McGregor’s partying.

Joe Rogan and Craig Jones think it is mind games from ‘Mystic Mac’

In the recent JRE episode #157 with the Australian grappler, the color commentator took up the topic of ‘Mystic Mac’ being a party animal and having a blast at a club with his fiancé. They pulled out the video footage and scrutinized it to decipher whether the former double-weight champion was drinking or just vibing, or according to Jones, “it’s mind games though maybe?”

Rogan asked the BJJ black belt whether he was aware of the video and Jones said yes. The Jones asked tentatively, “I reckon real?” However, Rogan had a different approach and said, “It doesn’t mean he’s drinking.” Jones agreed and said that the fighter might just be dancing at his pub and the former martial artist and comedian replied, “His wife; he has got his shirt off looks like he is having a good time. I mean it looked like he wasn’t sober. But he could just be a fu** maniac.”

Rogan and Jones were watching the video where ‘The Notorious’ was partying with his shirt off and dancing with everyone. However, it is a critical juncture in McGregor’s career due to the comeback after a 3 year long hiatus. This is the reason people are a bit confused about his demeanor just before the fight. Although he enjoys having a good time, he did previously state that he was off his alcohol brands before any fight and training. Nevertheless, the people seemed confused, and ‘The Notorious’ did not sit back silently.

Conor McGregor finally responds to controversial party footage

Conor McGregor recently posted a compilation video of him partying on his Instagram story! There were several other UFC fighters along with him including Alexander Volkanovski in the compilation done by @Contextsport. McGregor was dancing with his fiancé at his own pub called The Black Forge Inn recently, and he was having the time of his life. However, fans started pointing fingers at ‘The Notorious’ for not training.

McGregor did not keep silent and came onto Instagram to share some pictures of him during a sparring session. The main visual that caught everyone’s attention was McGregor’s blood-covered glove on his left hand. The caption read, “Fighting, competing, it’s in my blood.”

Interestingly, the cryptic message might have been an answer to the fans as well as Michael Chandler. The Irishman shared the same on his IG stories with his confident tone and said, “Don’t sweat, I got it.”

He sure loves to promote his brands and enjoy himself once in a while. Come June 29th, McGregor will have to put his money where his mouth is and bring his best to the cage. Michael Chandler’s social media feed shows a serious training camp and the former ‘champ champ’ can afford to leave no stone unturned!
