Conor McGregor returns in a five-round feature headliner at UFC 303. Ahead of the bout, he has constantly attended the proceedings at The Black Forge Inn. ‘The Notorious’ engages in endless online snippets touting the famous spot. Consequently, it’s a dangerous notion when one impedes the progress of another.
McGregor faces the hardworking Michael Chandler in his UFC 303 showdown. His return event has already rallied a projected live gate of $20 million in pre-sales. However, that’s where the buck ends for the consensus sports icon. While there’s much build-up anticipation of his return, it also brings to the forefront that he has been inactive for three years now.
McGregor might as well end up winning the affair. However, his alcohol-fuelled hijinks have remained a magnet to much criticism for being one of the most undisciplined entities in combat sports. From Chael Sonnen to Red Hawk Academy’s Tim Welch and a few others prefer Chandler’s mobilized intent before the fight.
Additionally, on Friday night, the Dublin hotspot hosted a secret gig with American DJ Mark ‘MK Kinchen and Irish group “Belters Only.” McGregor was present, quite boozy, and stewed. Alongside, he kept flaunting his Rolex on the dance floor. During a recent Kick livestream with duelbits.com, he insisted on quitting alcohol ahead of UFC 303. This rebukes that effort. It’s anyone’s guess if this puts his fight in jeopardy.
Current deterrents to Conor McGregor’s return at UFC 303
UFC superstar and former two-weight division champ Conor McGregor makes his return soon. His social presence and habitual misdemeanors have remained less than ideal for a return. Despite nudging that he is weeks sober, the Irishman was visibly quite crocked and endlessly jovial at The Black Forge Inn.
Social media influencer and Misfits Boxing star Ben Williams was in tow. Cian Cowley and TUF fighter Lee Hammond were also there. Along with his fiance, Dee Devlin, the fighter could be seen dancing away the night.
Conor McGregor is his own worst enemy before UFC 303 return (Source: fox13now.com/ thesun.ie)Despite the public assurance that he would abstain from drinking, he did pose with bottles of his Proper Twelve. He captioned the post bizarrely:
Stocky tills at @theblackforgeinn. Quarter past 2 in the mornin ye hahahaaha.

The admission of “quarter past two” in the since-deleted tweet is a big takeaway near full camp. If that wasn’t it, he has been blamed by local residents for turning his proposed Howth Hotel into a “partying Ibiza-like” venue. Meaning he plans to keep his partying trend going.
Last month, the Sunday Business Post reported that the Dubliner was seeking permission to build a hotel above Howth’s Waterside Pub. He also has yet another ongoing woman’s civil damages claim. Even his most ardent fans are undecided if he would make it in his best shape to the fight. As UFC 303 approaches, a lot of the puzzle unbinds.
