Conor McGregor has been raising eyebrows with his public appearances lately. The Irishman showed up at last week’s Garcia vs Davis boxing event and had fans wondering if he was intoxicated. Now, the 34-year-old has done it again at BKFC 41. Only this time, fans have incriminating proof of McGregor and they are disappointed, to say the least.

Conor McGregor has been out of action for nearly two years now since his injury at UFC 264 in 2021. Although he has completed filming season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter against Michael Chandler, the pair are yet to have a date for their fight. From the latest updates that McGregor shared, the showdown will likely happen in late summer.
