Conor McGregor is determined to prove his critics wrong as he gears up for his UFC fight against Michael Chandler. A recent video showing McGregor partying sparked doubts about his preparation, but the Irish fighter responded with intense training images, reported by Alex Pattle.
Over the weekend, a video surfaced showing McGregor dancing at what appeared to be a festival with his wife, Dee Devlin. The timing of the video, just one month before McGregor's scheduled fight with Chandler on June 29, led many fans to question his dedication and readiness for the bout.
McGregor, 35, quickly took to Instagram to counter the narrative. He posted photos of himself sparring, his gloves covered in blood, with the caption: “Fighting, competing, it’s in my blood. #FightingIrish.” The images were a clear message that despite the party video, he remains committed and intensely focused on his fight preparations.

Meanwhile, Michael Chandler has been consistently sharing his training progress on social media. The 38-year-old American, who is set to headline UFC 303 with McGregor in Las Vegas, posted a motivational message on Instagram: “Life’s battles are not always won by the bigger and stronger man, but he who believes he can win. Walk On. See you at the top!” Chandler’s disciplined approach contrasts with the recent doubts surrounding McGregor’s preparation.
The UFC has announced a press conference in Dublin on June 3, where McGregor and Chandler will face off. This event is a rare move by the UFC, which last staged an international press tour in 2015 before McGregor’s victory over Jose Aldo. The press conference is expected to be a heated affair, adding more anticipation to the already highly anticipated fight.
