Speculation is rife about the nature of the former two-division champion’s injury, which some fight fans believe was discovered last weekend.
Dozens of MMA fans claimed on social media that the Dubliner suffered an eye injury after seeing him wear sunglasses. Father’s Day.
They believed the superstar suffered a cut above his left eye, despite one of them not being visible at all.
But he dismissed these suggestions in his last Instagram post, which documented a movie night he had with his fiancée Dee Devlin at his Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin.
A bald McGregor wore black Versace sunglasses in most of the photos, although he did not do so in one Photograph of himself holding a pint of his Forged Irish Stout.
And it was clear that there were no lacerations or bruises near Notorious’s left eye.
The caption accompanying the post read: “The Black Forge Inn: Movie Night!
“A good classic Irish film by John Connoers on reel tonight, it was a delight!

When will Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler happen?
By Chisanga Malata
CONOR MCGREGOR has been forced to abandon his long-awaited return to the UFC due to injury – but a new date for his return is now in the works.
The injury occurred to the Irishman just days before he was due to leave for Las Vegas for his UFC 303 clash with Michael Chandler and he was forced to pull out of a fight for the first time in his career.
But the former two-weight champion won’t be out of action for long and UFC management is already looking for new dates for his return.
Two dates are currently in play for the long-awaited Return of the Mac.
SunSport understands that August 31 and September 14 are the dates currently being explored for the return of the fan favorite.
A September return is more likely, as the UFC already has a pay-per-view card planned for Sin City’s brand-new Sphere.
But bosses could decide to hold a second PPV event in August to ensure McGregor’s return takes place in the summer.
McGregor, 35, has not set foot in the Octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
“‘The Black Welf’ check.”
McGregor, 35, hasn’t set foot in the Octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier almost three years ago.
SunSport understands that the injury suffered is not serious and that the UFC has set aside August 31st as a potential date for Mac’s return.
McGregor was devastated to have his do-or-die comeback fight hampered by injury, but vowed to return to the Octagon in double quick time.
He wrote on Instagram: “It’s very difficult to be excluded from my scheduled comeback fight.
“I suffered an injury before the press conference that required more time to heal than was available to me.
“The decision to postpone the fight was not made lightly, but rather in consultation with my doctors, the UFC and my team.
“My fans and opponent deserve my best for this fight and we will get there!
“Thank you for the messages of support, I’m in a good mood and confident that I’ll be back!”
