Conor McGregor remains one of the most recognized and followed fighters today despite his long absence from active UFC competition. His fan base continues to grow, showing loyalty regardless of his recent inactivity or lack of appearances inside the Octagon. Recently, McGregor was spotted partying and enjoying time with the Nelk Boys, highlighting his vibrant lifestyle outside the cage.

The Nelk Boys, known for their wild antics and Full Send brand, have built a strong presence in combat sports media. Their viral podcasts regularly feature UFC stars, drawing millions of viewers and cementing their influence in the fight world. Recently, they traveled to Dublin and met McGregor at his famous Black Forge Inn for drinks and conversation.

In the video, McGregor is seen partying hard with the Nelk Boys, living up to his wild reputation. The ‘Notorious’ was in high spirits, singing loudly, taking tequila shots, and laughing with the Nelk Boys throughout the night. A few weeks ago, one of the Nelk Boys, Kyle Forgeard, also shared details about this meeting and mentioned McGregor’s 40 percent alcohol room.

According to Forgeared, he didn’t see the former double taking any drugs, which was a major speculation among the fight fans. However, despite that, the atmosphere was highly energetic. Fans loved it—exactly the kind of wild, energetic chaos they expect from a classic McGregor party scene.

Some fans expressed concern that McGregor’s heavy partying and drinking might distract him from a potential return to fighting. However, others defended him, saying the legendary ‘Mystic Mac’ has earned the right to enjoy his success and lifestyle freely. At the same time, McGregor’s charisma and larger-than-life presence continue to impress and inspire many current UFC fighters.

Last month, they had their first press conference, where Silva went all out mocking Silva and his conspiracy theories. It also resulted in some interesting responses from the American, which boosted the hype around the fight. Silva seemed very proud of his trash-talking and recently compared himself with Conor McGregor for promoting the fight. 

Let’s be real, who’s carrying this event on his back? When was the last time we saw a press conference like that? It was Conor [McGregor]. No one else’s done that… Bryce will quit and ‘Lord’ won’t be mean or coward to continue hitting him. He’ll get beat like everybody else got beat because I’m the best at what I do.

McGregor has inspired many young fighters who aspire to become successful both inside and outside the octagon. He revolutionized UFC trash talk by combining sharp wit, confidence, and showmanship, attracting massive global attention to fights. One of the biggest examples of this was his press conference with Jose Aldo at UFC 194. 

It featured relentless insults, psychological warfare, and humor that completely broke Aldo’s composure before their fight. Similarly, McGregor’s “red panty night” comment toward Rafael dos Anjos highlighted his ability to turn personal jabs into viral moments. He also famously clashed with Khabib Nurmagomedov, using intense trash talk that stirred global interest and sold over two million pay-per-views. 

McGregor’s charisma transformed fight promotion into entertainment, blending Hollywood flair with combat sports to generate unmatched hype and audience numbers. His influence led other fighters to adopt similar tactics, realizing that microphone skills could earn paydays just as big as victories.
