Fans of the sport have been wondering when the next Conor McGregor fight is going to take place. McGregor is the first UFC champion to hold two weight classes simultaneously and the sport’s biggest draws. Yet despite much teasing, there are no signs of ‘Notorious’ returning to such glory. Away from UFC 303 and away from a Michael Chandler fight, he is seemingly enjoying his windfalls.
A video reel by the ex-champ’s social media account has him literally sliding down into the weekend, verbatim. Conor McGregor boasts a collection of luxury water rides. 19.2-meter Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 yacht is something ‘Notorious’ is very proud of. The Irishman also has a custom-built, 3-decked 150-foot “Sunseeker” Prestige 750 luxury yacht. He slid down and splashed in the water below.
Sliding into the weekend! Happy Friday.

Michael Chandler — former Bellator lightweight world champion and current UFC lightweight was to fight him at UFC 303. However, McGregor had to pull out and cancel media obligations, reportedly for a hurt pinky toe. Now that the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada affair is over, there is hope the fight will happen at a later date. Meanwhile, Michael Chandler is ready to scout other fights and move on.
Top brass and the Team SBG Ireland fighter himself have sparked some hype on return news. McGregor hopes to return at the December PPV event. While he is fancying away his time on boats is no true measure of another UFC 303-like pullout, it does not also spell that “Conor McGregor” is camp-ready. As such, the reel has gone quite viral.

McGregor’s next fight is still expected to be against Chandler, but it does not bode well for the ex-Bellator star, who has used up two years waiting for this money fight. ‘Notorious’ and Chandler coached against each other in TUF: Season 31. So they do not have stories, and dynamic callouts are lacking; all that’s missing is a date.

While some have lauded the fighter for enjoying his life, others have lashed against the underwhelming snippet. A prominent reaction (@Degen__inc) even mocked – “When you gonna slide onto a fight card?” Many have urged McGregor to pick up the gloves and announce a date rather than post random snippets. All in all, the matter has gone viral all right, but for mostly stale reasons.
