But the Irish raised eyebrows by attending two wild parties at his Black Forge Inn pub in as many weeks.

Footage of the 35-year-old living his best life worried fight fans around the world, but not White.

The UFC CEO and president said on Sunday morning: “I don’t know what’s real on the internet and what’s not real on the internet.

“I don’t know the timing. In one of them he has a beard, in one of them he has no beard.

“I have no idea, I don’t know if any of this is real or true or anything.”

Despite the videos appearing to show McGregor burning the candle at both ends, the Dubliner was not seen having a drink.

And White doesn’t believe The Notorious would be so stupid as to throw a party so close to one of the biggest fights of his career.

The veteran promoter added: “Conor is not a dumb guy and this is obviously a big fight for him.

“He’s calling it the best comeback in the world. history sports and all that stuff. So we’ll see what happens.”

White may not be worried about McGregor’s antics, but MMA fans are worried that the fight could fall apart.

McGregor, Chandler and White were due to take part in a pre-fight press conference in Dublin on Monday night.

But the press ended up being postponed just 12 hours before the scheduled date.

A UFC statement read: “The #UFC303 press conference scheduled for Monday, June 3 in Dublin, Ireland at the 3Arena has been postponed until further notice.

“We sincerely apologize to all fans who planned to attend.

“When we have more information about a new date and time, we will share it immediately. – Thank you.”

Former two-division champion McGregor hasn’t set foot in the Octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier almost three years ago.
