Conor McGregor has done it yet again! The Irish mixed martial artist has made the fight fans worry about his bout against Michael Chandler once again with video footage of him enjoying himself late at night at the Black Forge Inn. ‘The Notorious’ has recently shared a video on Instagram that has sent the entire MMA world into believing that he would face defeat against Chandler. 

McGregor has been out of the Octagon for a good three years, following a gruesome injury he faced in his battle against Dustin Poirier back in UFC 264. One misstep and he snapped his leg. Although the Irish fighter was not fighting during the last three years, he wasn’t all out of action. The Dubliner was extremely active on social media, making his presence known and snatching the headlines. Not too long ago, he entered the headlines for partying and dancing with Dee Devlin. The fighting community slammed the former UFC double champion for having fun instead of training hard for his battle. And now, things have taken a similar turn. 

McGregor has put forth another video on his Instagram page. Therein, he seemingly introduced two men who looked exactly like Jake Paul and Tony Ferguson. The two lookalikes had a face-off and a scruffle. Without a doubt, the act sent waves of laughter at the Black Forge Inn, with McGregor laughing the loudest. After the fight between ‘The Problem Child’ and the legendary Mike Tyson was postponed owing to Tyson’s ulcer, the fight fans were left pretty annoyed. But now, McGregor has brought in another fighter to face Paul. ‘The Notorious’ has seemingly dragged ‘El Cucuy’ into the talks.
