Conor McGregor takes over Sydney Sweeney’s viral Instagram post
Heralded for his promotional work by her followers, McGregor posted, “Road House March 21st.” – landing himself top comment on Sydney Sweeney’s post, which she had made initially to herself promote her role in an upcoming release of Immaculate.
Growing impatient with a lack of movement on his impending return to the Octagon, McGregor revealed during his promotional tour that a lack of confirmation on potential December and January led to inactivity in his training regime, and resulting in a drop off in motivation.
However, confirming he retains just two fights on his current contract with the UFC, McGregor claimed “negotiations are ongoing” for him to make a return – and compete at least twice later this year, in a targeted fight against Michael Chandler, firstly.
Furthermore, the Dubliner voiced his interest in fighting two-time foe, Nate Diaz in a trilogy rubber match as soon as September in the main event of UFC 306 at the Las Vegas Sphere – was ultimately shot down by promotional leader, White.
