Conor McGregor announced his comeback fight on New Year’s in an Instagram video. As such, he revealed facing Michael Chandler in June 2024 for International Fight Week. In typical McGregor fashion, he started taunting Chandler right from the announcement video. In an attempt to troll his opponent, Mcgregor trolled himself by sharing a meme.
In his recent Instagram story, Conor McGregor shared a meme that compared the routine of both fighters. It noted Michael Chandler followed a strict, healthy lifestyle, while Conor McGregor had an undisciplined party lifestyle. The post indicated that McGregor used ‘party powder,’ which was slang for Cocaine. Further, no comments were made by McGregor to interpret the meme. So, it was left to the fans to understand the meaning of it.
Presumably, Conor McGregor posted it to outlandishly state he engaged in those activities and still beat him as an afterthought. Something that would age well if he won. But, it was partly true as McGregor outrageously enjoyed his lavish lifestyle while Chandler maintained his healthy way of living.
These can be referenced in their social media posts. ‘The Notorious’ often posted pictures of him partying and drinking while ‘Iron’ continuously shared his workout videos.
Recently, McGregor hinted at taking a complete shift from his earlier lifestyle and focused on just training. As such, his comeback had the whole combat world excited. Both McGregor and Chandler are coming back from a long lay-off. Chandler last fought in November 2022 and McGregor in July 2021. As per McGregor, the fight takes place on June 29, 2024, in Las Vegas.
