Fans Concerned For Conor McGregor Following Viral Interview

Fight fans are worried about Conor McGregor.

Some fans believe that UFC mega star Conor McGregor may have a problem following a recent interview.

McGregor has been out of action since the summer of 2021 after suffering a fractured tibia and fibula in his third showdown with Dustin Poirier. Since that time, McGregor has insisted that he will "never" retire and is focused on getting back inside the Octagon.

While the "Notorious" one says that he is focused on returning to the Octagon, some fans don't feel that is the case. In the comment section of a recent interview conducted by Ariel Helwani for Matchroom Boxing, YouTube users showed concern for McGregor's well-being.

Popular YouTuber True Geordie also chimed in, and he's made it clear that he believes something is off with McGregor.

"I don't know if this is related to his bad leg break or if this is just a slow dissent into more and more drug use, because let's be real, the more you take it the more you need."

Geordie pulled up a clip of a past interview with "Mystic Mac" and he feels it's almost like watching two different people.

"It's not even recognizable to this brilliant speaker of a man. It's not even recognizable, man. It's actually sad, man. It genuinely is."

Geordie believes someone close to McGregor should talk to him to try to straighten things out.

"When you're going onto interviews with DAZN and the like, and you're making a t** of yourself, that's when those close to you need to step in and say, 'Enough's enough, mate. What the f*** are you doing?' Who's his friends?"

Of course, it's all speculation on the part of fans and True Geordie.

McGregor is expected to collide with Michael Chandler at some point this year. He recently resolved issues with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and is expected to re-enter the testing pool. Despite concern from fans, McGregor told Helwnai that he wasn't going to drink during their interview because he was focused on training.

Fans can catch McGregor on season 31 of "The Ultimate Fighter." He'll be serving as a coach opposite Chandler. The season premiere will air on May 30 on ESPN.
