How Ireland fell out of love with Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor hasn’t competed professionally since July 2021 after suffering a leg break against Dustin Poirier. Very soon, though, the 35-year-old will return to the octagon. Or so we’re told.

While his opponent, Michael Chandler, is busy training in the gym, McGregor can be found engaged in less-than-athletic pursuits — such as, say, drunkenly riding an ostrich. With a mere six weeks until fight night, one would expect a disciplined UFC training regimen — a regimen notably devoid of booze-fueled escapades. But alas, McGregor seems more inclined to revel in the spotlight, leveraging his fame to peddle whiskey and tout his various investments.
