They talked about various topics with Von sharing details about shooting a movie with the Diaz brothers. Similarly, Forgeard also talked about their trip to Dublin to meet McGregor in his famous pub, The Black Forge Inn.
Couldn’t understand a word he was saying but we followed him into the bar. He has a little room called the ‘40%’ room where it’s like only 40% alcohol. So, we went back there took some shots.

McGregor has faced accusations of alcohol and drug abuse, often seen partying excessively despite his athletic career. His erratic behavior, including legal troubles and online rants, has fueled speculation. Von took this opportunity and brought the conversation around McGregor’s drug abuse. However, Forgeard mentioned he never saw McGregor using drugs, describing him as simply being “amped on life” and full of energy.
Von recently met McGregor at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony in Washington, witnessing the Irishman’s electrifying presence firsthand. While explaining McGregor’s aura, the comedian shared a unique and hilarious representation of his larger-than-life personality and charisma.
McGregor has always been extremely proud of The Black Forge Inn, which he bought for a whopping $2 million in 2021. The venue attracts locals and tourists, serving as a hotspot for fans eager to experience McGregor’s hospitality and Irish culinary excellence. Now, with his life without UFC, McGregor has given various interviews inside his pub.
Conor McGregor’s current relationship with UFC
Conor McGregor revolutionized UFC with his charisma, knockout power, and record-breaking pay-per-view sales, attracting millions of new fans worldwide. His historic fights and double-champ status elevated UFC’s mainstream appeal, increasing revenue and global recognition beyond traditional MMA audiences.
McGregor’s trash talk and promotional skills created massive hype, making UFC events must-watch spectacles that transcended the sport’s usual fanbase. According to UFC CEO, Dana White, McGregor was incredible to work with as he never backed out of any challenges.
The UFC CEO White loved working with ‘The Notorious.’ However, things aren’t that smooth in the present time. In a recent podcast, UFC veteran Ben Askren talked about the fighters who protested for their UFC contract.
You have a Francis Ngannou which had a very ugly dispute. You’ve had Conor McGregor, you’ve had the Diaz brothers, you know. Many people… these stars that were constantly just doing this with Dana because Dana didn’t want them to have too much leverage…

White is infamous for talking trash about UFC veterans who didn’t agree with him or had bad professional relationships. Fans have seen Francis Ngannou, Tito Ortiz, and Demetrious Johnson among others get blasted by White after their relationship was severed. However, despite inconsistencies, White never disliked McGregor.
Recently, McGregor congratulated White on his Forbes Magazine cover, crediting their partnership for his massive financial success and influence. White was excited to host McGregor’s highly anticipated comeback fight in UFC last year. However, things aren’t looking great as McGregor’s outside interests continue delaying his long-awaited return to the octagon.
Instead of fighting, McGregor is more focused on starting his political career. His recent visit to The White House was followed by the announcement regarding his run for President in Ireland. The millionaire fighter is looking serious, however, nothing can be said just now.
