“Made So Much Money Literally Turning Into It…”: Amidst Uncertainty of His 2023 Return, Conor McGregor’s Latest Twitter (X) Antic Leaves the Fans in Splits

The name Conor McGregor has become almost synonymous with the UFC and MMA. Even the uninitiated have some idea of who the ‘Notorious’ Irishman is. Arguably one of the biggest names in the sport, Conor McGregor is known for his fighting and his penchant for the theatrical. In a career that has seen exponential growth in a surprising amount of time, Conor McGregor has constantly been taking the MMA world by storm. But his absence since 2021 is beginning to be felt by fans everywhere.

After his leg injury, Conor found himself in the midst of various predicaments, the latest being with the USADA. While the gap in the fighting scene cannot really be filled, Conor’s presence has not diminished at all. While not being able to fight, McGregor’s social media presence and candid interviews have always kept him in the spotlight notoriously. In a recent video that he uploaded to X (formerly Twitter), Conor engages in another one of his online shenanigans, leaving fans everywhere amused once again.

Conor McGregor fights the odds: Eyes a comeback

Conor McGregor struck a bout of bad luck back in 2021 when he fought Dustin Poirier. The lightweight bout in July saw Conor’s leg give way during the fight, leading to a TKO victory for Poirier. The fight at UFC 264 marked the second time Conor faced Poirier. During their previous encounter at UFC 257, it was still Poirier who came out on top. Following the injury, the ‘Notorious’ took a long break from the sport. It has been two years now and there seems to be another hurdle that Conor must clear before making it back into the ring.

Conor is allegedly returning to the Octagon in December. But the USADA pool controversy stands in his way. The return bout is scheduled against Michael Chandler, as part of the final event of the TUF 31 TV show where McGregor and Chandler were coaching opposite teams. After many intriguing posts on X, the Irishman recently posted a video where he was seen using a face filter that superimposed Benjamin Franklin from a dollar bill onto his face. The video has entertained and confused countless fans who took to X to share their thoughts.
