The ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor isn’t close to making his return to the UFC octagon. Nevertheless, the Irishman has consistently attracted attention with his activities outside the cage. Notably, McGregor has been spotted completing various side quests. Most recently, the ‘Notorious’ was seen in the vibrant state of Utah, USA.
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor recently visited the United States after being invited to President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Day ceremony. During his visit, McGregor created quite a stir and even spoke about his aspirations for the presidency. A few days later, he reignited the topic of a potential presidential run, this time by sharing a surprising display of firearms at a ranch in Utah.
Ready Gunner, an ammunition shop and gun range in Orem, Utah, hosted the ‘Notorious’ a few hours ago. McGregor shared his enjoyable experience during the visit through two different videos. In both clips, the Irishman tried out heavy weaponry and included messages in each. It’s speculated that one message was directed at his critics and the other related to his political aspirations.

In the realm of ambitions and aspirations, McGregor has frequently expressed his dissatisfaction with the Irish government. Driven by a desire to address the pressing issues facing the nation, the ‘Notorious’ has boldly declared his dream of running for the presidency. This ambitious vision has garnered support from many prominent figures around the world, who have rallied behind him.
Fight fans react to Conor McGregor’s recent gun range video
Currently, Conor McGregor is not one of the most highly regarded athletes in the MMA community. This is largely due to his inactivity in the ring, which has allowed other fighters on the UFC roster to gain popularity among fans. Additionally, McGregor’s reputation suffered a significant blow after he was found liable in a s*xual assault case.
All of the above antics of the Irishman have affected his popularity to some extent, despite him being one of the most talked-about fighters in UFC history. However, this has not deterred fight fans from actively following McGregor’s current activities outside the cage. When a video of him at a shooting range went viral, community members shared their reactions. Check out some of their responses below.

He's having fun. He doesn't have to fight if he doesn't want too and he has a legacy. Stop hating in the comments.
