Conor McGregor has taken over the headlines once again! Recently, he was spotted partying late beyond midnight with his fiance, Dee Devlin. Without a doubt, the fighting community began pointing fingers at the Irish mixed martial artist and asking him to train for his upcoming fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303. But now, he has come up with a bloodied glove in response to the controversial talks.

It is indeed a critical point in McGregor’s career with him trying to make a comeback against Chandler, following a three-year-long hiatus. Although he has a habit of enjoying himself, the former UFC double-division champion recently stated that he was off his alcohol brands during the time he spends in the training camps. However, it all came crashing down when he was spotted dancing with bottles of alcohol. Nevertheless, the Irish fighter has come back with a response of his own.

Conor McGregor responds to the controversial party night talks

‘Mystic Mac’ recently shared a reel on his IG story. In the compilation clip featuring several UFC stars partying, Alexander Volkanovski can be seen enjoying a party right beside the disco jockey and then later shadow boxing in the club. The clip features McGregor dancing like there was no tomorrow, right beside Dee Devlin. It also showed Michael Chandler busting out some of his moves on the dance floor. But as the fight fans began blaming the Irishman for not training, he had to come up with another response.

‘The Notorious’ then took to Instagram and shared a few pictures of him during a recent sparring activity. But the thing that caught the fans’ attention was a bloodied sparring glove on the fighter’s left hand. The caption to the post read, “Fighting, competing, it’s in my blood.”

Undeniably, it seemed like a message for Michael Chandler, a couple of weeks before their fight. It was, in fact, a tough, full-contact sparring session. When Dave Fogarty, a famed photographer on social media, shared McGregor’s picture with a helmet smeared with blood, the Irish mixed martial artist replied in nothing but sassiness. The photographer shared the image and captioned it, “This is in my blood.” McGregor then shared the post to his IG story and wrote, “Don’t sweat, I got it.”

But why was the ‘Mystic Mac’ partying so late at night? Well, he is the proud owner of the club, The Black Forge Inn. Even though it doesn’t help his career at this crucial point, he sure likes to enjoy himself every once in a while. But what matters is that the fighter has now swung back into action. However, the act had a former UFC contender concerned.

UFC veteran was concerned about UFC 303

After the leaked visuals from McGregor’s escapade went viral on the internet, Michael Bisping took to his talk show and revealed his thoughts. But his concern over McGregor’s return was clearly visible. ‘The Count’ wondered whether the Irishman would even show up. He said, “First of all, is he going to show up? Three years away from sports. He broke his leg, all this type of stuff. He’s sleeping in silk sheets, driving Lamborghini yachts, and a movie star now, and all the rest of it. Lots of distractions. Will it be the same person?”

Nevertheless, the UFC veteran seemed to have faith in McGregor. Although he claimed that McGregor has been enjoying himself for the past three years, he credited the Dubliner’s skills and accolades, hinting that the human body can transform pretty quickly. Although he still is indulging in parties, McGregor’s fight with Chandler is one that has the entire fighting community on tip-toes.
