What’s up with Conor McGregor?

That’s what some people are asking after the UFC star’s erratic public appearance while promoting his new action movie, a remake of Road House, alongside Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal.

Article content

The action movie premiered during the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, last Friday and fans were quick to notice the fighter’s unusual demeanour, spotting his apparently altered skin colour and erratic body language.

The 35-year-old hasn’t fought since July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in a second consecutive defeat at the hands of American Dustin Poirier.

It’s believed that the Irishman is now back to full health and has expressed his desire to compete during International Fight Week in June.

UFC president Dana White, however, has not shown his cards concerning McGregor’s possible return to the promotion, despite a fight with Michael Chandler being announced more than a year ago.

Road House marks McGregor’s acting debut.

Late last year, White refused to confirm when the global superstar will return or if he will at all.

“First problem was he broke that shin bone and he was recovering from that,” White said. “The other problem is he’s f—ing rich. Conor doesn’t need money.”

It was recently revealed that McGregor has been drug-tested the most out of any athlete in the UFC this year. He has so far been tested five times in 2024.
