Conor McGregor video has people all saying the same thing
Conor McGregor's followers were less than impressed after viewing a video of the ex-UFC champ's latest workout.
Now 36, McGregor hasn't entered the octagon since his loss to long-time rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 almost four years ago. An anticipated comeback against Michael Chandler didn't materialise last year due to training injuries, and no updates on McGregor's return are forthcoming from the UFC for this year.
Despite not having competed recently, McGregor stays in the public eye via social media. The 'Notorious', without a fight lined up, posted footage of his intense bag session, completing ten solid rounds of various strikes.
Still, the clips left fans questioning his capability, with some doubting whether he's still got it. "He'll never be the same again," one fan remarked.
"He's gassed. Of course he can still fight... but for how long? Who can he beat? Conor vs Chandler is the fight to make," another offered their perspective, reports the Mirror.
Another added their two cents, saying: "Man looks dead tired. It's a wrap Conor." A succinct comment from another fan was just: "Washed."
One fan, considering the wealth McGregor has accumulated, hopes he won't return to the ring out of financial necessity, commenting: "Not going to lie, Conor is looking slow! Please DON'T fight again. You don't need the money,".
The general feeling among enthusiasts is that McGregor's brilliance is fading, with his punches missing their previous sting. "Absolutely no speed or power behind those shots," one observer pointed out.
"Yeah, he ain't coming back moving that slow, damn it," expressed another, in disappointment.
However, despite the doubt cast by some, the MMA icon hinted at a potential comeback – albeit with a stipulation – dreaming of fighting in a full arena. "I'll only come back to a stadium," he proclaimed.
In further online remarks, McGregor fueled the ongoing spat with Chandler, declaring: "IRON MIKE CHANDLER. Unfinished business."
Following the buzz around UFC 314, Conor McGregor chimed in on social media, fired up about the lightweight clash between Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett. Sharing footage of his own training session in Dubai, he wrote: "I am interested in the Chandler/Pimblett fight this weekend", making sure to include mentions for both UFC and its proprietors TKO.
Pimblett would go on to deliver a show-stopping knockout in the third round, securing a major triumph in his career. Prior to the fight, McGregor made waves by placing a substantial bet on Chandler, which could have potentially raked in a whopping $2.5million.
Pimblett didn't hesitate to address the situation post-fight, taking a swipe at McGregor's decision.
"Even (Conor) McGregor putting money on Chandler to win, lad. The Irish-Scouse connection," Pimblett quipped during the UFC 314 press conference. He also called out McGregor for not backing him, saying, "He's meant to back me. And even never! So if he wants it, he can get it as well."

A look inside Róisín O's famous family life as she announces pregnancy
Irish singer Róisín O has revealed she's expecting her first child, 15 months after her fiancé Gearóid O Dea popped the question. Posting a video of her dancing the viral routine to CMAT's song Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, the star joked that the lyrics are about to be her new reality as she mouthed along to 'I did the home and the family maker.' Now, as Róisín prepares for the adventure that is motherhood, let's take a look at her famous family ties. Irish singer Róisín O has revealed she's expecting her first child, 15 months after her fiancé Gearóid O Dea popped the question. Pic: Instagram / Róisín O It's no secret that the star hails from a very famous musical family, with her mother being none other than legendary songstress Mary Black. As a member of one of the biggest Music dynasties in Ireland Róisín is also related to Frances Black, an Irish singer and politician. Previously chatting about her 'nepo baby' status to The Irish Independent, the mum-to-be joked; 'I think it's a fair enough term. I find it quite funny.'

Róisín's famous family ties don't stop there, with her brother being Danny of The Coronas. The pair have always been notoriously close, with the siblings having even worked together from time to time. Posting a video of her dancing the viral routine to CMAT's song Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, the star joked that the lyrics are about to be her new reality as she mouthed along to 'I did the home and the family maker.' Pic: GMCD Previously chatting with Dáithí Ó Sé and Sinéad Kennedy on RTE's The Today Show, the singer opened up about spending lockdown in Kerry alongside her brother. 'I was actually down here writing with Danny and we were supposed to be writing songs for the Coronas,' the singer explained they had been working on a song but it wasn't going in the direction they had hoped. 'It was about 1 o'clock in the morning and Danny was like 'Here, have a listen to this other thing.' It's no secret that the star hails from a very famous musical family, with her mother being none other than legendary songstress Mary VIP Ireland 'It was just a loop of four chords, and I was like 'Wow there's something really special about that.'' 'I went up to my bedroom and I just started singing a melody and some lyrics over it. I had the song finished in about 20 minutes,' she added. 'I sang it for him the next day and it was obvious then it that moment that this was definitely not a Coronas song. This was a Róisín O song.' Well, it's safe to say this little one is bound to have a set of pipes on them. Congrats Róisín & Gearóid.
