Conor McGregor once stunned two friends in the streets of Dublin who were acting like him. The two men were faking a fight when McGregor arrived in his vehicle.
After a night of drinking, two friends in Dublin were caught on camera pretending to be in a fight. They were imitating the techniques of the UFC champion Conor Mcgregor. The video was from 2016-17, when Conor defeated Eddie Alvarez in UFC 205.
The video shows the two guys play-fighting while being videotaped by someone using a cell phone. An approaching black Escalade with its driver’s window down can be seen in the distance. The two guys concentrate their eyes on the persons inside the car as it approaches them.
They scream, “You will not do anything!” and begin to laugh right away. (McGregor’s catchphrase from his fight with Alvarez), and the ensuing video swiftly reveals that the driver is McGregor himself. The Irishman joins in their laughing and makes a motion toward the camera before going on his way.

Conor McGregor set to fight Michael Chandler for UFC comeback
Conor McGregor will face Michael Chandler later this year. In addition to his coaching duties on ESPN’s The Ultimate Fighter, McGregor is now involved in a number of other projects. For example, he was caught filming his acting debut with Jake Gyllenhaal.
“For Chandler, I’m just too slick for him. I’m too skilled for him, and he’s not fought someone like me”, McGregor says. Since suffering a severe leg injury during a bout against Dustin Poirier in 2021, McGregor has not competed. Fans are extremely excited about his highly anticipated return to the UFC octagon. If McGregor is eligible for another championship chance, it will depend on how his fight with Chandler turns out.
How far his career takes him will depend on the battle he has coming up against Michael Chandler. McGregor hasn’t won a fight since 2020 and is on a two-fight losing streak. His recent dispute with USADA doesn’t seem to help either. Conor Mcgregor left the USADA testing pool after the loss against Dustin Poirier in 2021, and it appears he has not re-entered the pool yet. Conor McGregor has called the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) a “garbage organization” for claiming the Irishman should be included in its testing pool.
