Conor McGregor is undeniably one of the UFC’s most popular and wealthiest superstars. Over the last few months, the Irishman has been frequently spotted enjoying his time outside the octagon. Notably, in a recent livestream, Conor McGregor was seen smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. The viral clips from that livestream have sparked strong reactions from fans.
Conor McGregor’s incredible UFC career has contributed significantly to his extravagant lifestyle. He is renowned for selling a massive number of pay-per-views. As such, he even holds the record for the highest-selling UFC PPV in the promotion’s history. However, the Irishman’s recent activities outside the octagon have raised concern among fans. As such, they worry about his potential return to the UFC.
This comes after that Irishman’s recent appearance in sports betting outfit DuelBits’s live stream. Conor McGregor seemingly enjoyed his time there while drinking, smoking, and being entertainingly loud. Interestingly, this is not the first time he has done that. Most recently, the ‘Notorious’ even pretended like a bartender and enjoyed his time with some random people there. Moreover, McGregor also attended the “Battle of Britain” fight night last weekend, where he enjoyed his time outside the octagon.

As for fighting career, the UFC hasn’t booked McGregor’s comeback fight yet. Initially, former Bellator champ Michael Chandler was scheduled to face him. However, following the recent developments, Chandler will face Charles Oliveira instead. Interestingly, McGregor lashed out after this and went on his infamous X tirade. That being said, it will be interesting to see who he fights next.
Fight fans react to Conor McGregor’s recent gambling livestream
Conor McGregor’s last fight was against Dustin Poirier in 2021. Since then, the Notorious hasn’t returned to the octagon yet. In early 2024, fight fans were seemingly excited upon hearing about McGregor’s comeback. However, that has yet to happen as, over the last few months, the Irishman has had several complications.
Recently, McGregor teased his return again and claimed he would fight in 2025. He even publicly posted his drug testing emails, stating that he was free from obligations and ready to fight. This sparked excitement among fans. However, after his recent gambling live stream, fight fans lost hope again. As such, they just wanted McGregor to continue enjoying his life. Here are some of the reactions.
This is the man they want to fight again? I advise just let him do him. It’s over. 💀 https://t.co/rRK0qrTcEq

Interestingly, a majority of the fight fans brought in Michael Chandler in the comments. As such, they believe Chandler would have never got to fight McGregor. On the other hand, a few netizens mentioned that excessive fame and money might be the reason for the Irishman’s recent antics.
