“Wakey, Wakey” – Conor McGregor Gives Fans the Chills With Nightmarish Video Announcing His UFC Return

The UFC star Conor McGregor last graced the Octagon during UFC 264. Besides injuring his leg in a bizarre fashion, the Irishman went 3-1 in his last four fights. Also, the former UFC champion’s Twitter theatrics are well-established. McGregor not only tweets and aims a dig at his rivals, but also has a reputation for tweeting and then deleting these controversial rants and digs.

Similarly, in a recent Twitter post, the Irishman posted a bizarre video that trembled the fans.

Conor McGregor and his ghastly video

The Dublin-born has only fought four times in the last 6 years. Further, the Irishman is currently training and eyeing a near future comeback. However, meanwhile, the Irish fighter has kept himself occupied on social media.

In a recent Tweet, fans can witness McGregor in a different avatar. Surprisingly, McGregor looked beyond recognition. The Irishman stayed true to his brash attitude and surprised the fans by adopting an ‘ape avatar’. In addition, the former champion spoke hoarsely.

In the video, the 34-year-old athlete possibly referred to his probable comeback. Thus, he said, “I told you I’ll be back. Wakey wakey”

Since fighting his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas in mid-2021, the fighter is eyeing a comeback. But McGregor made the news for all the wrong reasons when Dana White accepted that USADA didn’t test the fighter in 2022.

Subsequently, this video left MMA fans baffled. Some fans even pointed out that this combination of ape filter and hoarse voice made them scared.

Conor McGregor’s ascendance to the richness

According to the Celebrity Net Worth, McGregor’s net worth is $200 million. What may come as a surprise to the fans is that the famed fighter once relied on the government’s public assistance to meet his ends.

Notably, this also includes the $100 million earned from the ‘money fight’ in 2017, when he fought Floyd Mayweather in a professional boxing match. While the ‘Mystic Mac’ ended the fight at a loss, this hefty paycheck ballooned his net worth.

Significantly, the MMA fighter sold his majority stake in his whiskey brand, No.12 Whiskey, in a $600 million deal. Also, the total career earnings of the Irish fighter stood at $235 million. Thus making him the wealthiest MMA fighter on the planet.
