Conor McGregor apparently acted to dispel doubts about his chances against michael chandlerafter a video of the Irishman’s party went viral.
Over the weekend a clip emerged of McGregor dancing in what appeared to be a club, alongside his wife Dee Devlin. The video emerged just a month before McGregor’s scheduled fight with Chandler.
Many fans expressed doubts that the former two-weight champion could beat Chandler on June 29suggesting that McGregor’s preparation was not good.
But McGregor, 35, took to Instagram on Monday (May 27) to share photos of himself fighting, showing off bloody gloves and writing: “Fighting, competing, is in my blood. #FightingIrish.”
Meanwhile, Chandler has continued to post regular photos and videos of himself training as he prepares to headline UFC 303 with McGregor in Las Vegas.
On Monday, the 38-year-old American wrote on Instagram: “Life’s battles are not always won by the biggest and strongest man, but by the one who believes he can win. Walk from. See you at the top!”
McGregor and Chandler are set to face off at a press conference in Dublin on June 3, in a rare move by the UFC, which last held an international press tour in 2015 – before McGregor’s victory over Jose Aldo.
McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in July 2021, in his second consecutive defeat to Dustin Poirier, who knocked him out six months earlier. The Irishman has not won a fight since January 2020.
Chandler last fought in November 2022, also losing to Poirier, who submitted his fellow American.
