Conor McGregor celebrates Snoop Dogg’s shocking decision

American rap legend Snoop Dogg recently announced that he is going to quit consuming marijuana. He also asked his fans to give him and his family some privacy. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor took notice of this announcement. He shared a message for the 52-year-old rapper and supported his decision to quit smoking.

“That’s the way. Because carcinogenics into the chest, no matter what it is, is a no,” said Conor McGregor. The Irishman also claimed to have quit smoking himself for a while since he was in the Middle East and that has made him feel much better than before.

McGregor further stated, “And I’m off it now, a few weeks here in the Middle East. And I’m feeling so much better for it.” He ended his message by showing his appreciation to Snoop Dogg while wishing him all the best for the future. “Bravo Snoop I wish you all the best,” ‘The Notorious’ added.

Aljamain Sterling Hints at a fight against Max Holloway

‘Funk Master’ wanted to replicate what Conor McGregor and a few others have achieved and become a double champion. However, his UFC 292 loss to Sean O’Malley put a halt to those plans. Despite that, Aljamain Sterling is still looking to go up to the featherweight division. He recently mentioned that he’s been getting tested at UFC PI to see if he can make a viable switch to the 145lbs division.

Meanwhile, the former bantamweight champion shared a tweet where he hinted that he might be making his featherweight debut against Max Holloway. “[Returning in] March. Trynna make it Blessed.” It has led to a lot of speculations about the fight. However, there hasn’t been any official confirmation yet.

‘The Rock’ called out for his false claims about MMA plans

Dwayne Johnson recently made his maiden appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. There he told Joe Rogan that he was considering a career in MMA when he was going through a rough time in WWE. ‘The Rock’ mentioned that he had been in talks with Ken Shamrock and even Mark Kerr about the possibility of switching to MMA in 1997. However, a fan on Twitter (X) called him out with a few key details.

A Twitter (X) user by the name ‘TheRealSnowden‘ mentioned that Pride had its first event in 1997. Hence, it did not match the timeline that Dwayne Johnson gave. Furthermore, Ken Shamrock still did not have a fight in Pride until 2002, so there was no way that he could have given accurate details about the promotion to ‘The Rock’. As such, the former WWE champion’s statement has raised a lot of eyebrows among combat sports fans.
