Conor McGregor makes concerning admission about rumored drug use in latest social media rant

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor answered a flurry of questions asked by fans on his X account about his current mindset.

Conor McGregor’s latest comeback attempt at UFC 329 ended in a serious right leg injury suffered just seconds into his fight with Max Holloway. After throwing a failed spinning kick as the fight kicked off, McGregor landed awkwardly on his right leg and suffered an injury that could sideline him for another year.

Despite the long-term prognosis and expected recovery period, McGregor wants to return to the Octagon once he’s fully healed. He wants to run it back with Holloway for a trilogy bout upon his return.

In the lead-up to UFC 329, McGregor was rumored to have used banned performance-enhancing drugs while recovering from the left leg injury suffered at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. Since winning his first UFC title over Jose Aldo, many fans have accused McGregor of using hard drugs, such as Cocaine, during a series of missteps outside of the Octagon.

Conor McGregor hints he would’ve ‘ended back in the cycle’ with UFC 329 win

In a recent tweet, McGregor responded to a follower who questioned if he was using recreational drugs to get over his disastrous UFC 329 comeback.

“I have not and will not take any mind-altering substances. I feel if the fight had of went any different, favourably or otherwise, even if the fight got to take place at least, I may have cracked the seal on this and ended back in the cycle,” McGregor said.

“However it went the way it went and I am awaiting my surgery and planning my recovery, so zero mind-altering substances have entered my body whatsoever. More time under extreme discipline is required and that is it. I find extreme discipline most enjoyable anyway so happy days.”
