Conor McGregor was spotted partying with the Nelk Boys in Ireland instead of training for a UFC return. Is his fighting career over?

Conor McGregor Continues Partying Instead of Training

Former UFC champion and current BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor has once again been seen living the high life. This time, the Irish superstar was caught on camera partying with YouTube group the Nelk Boys in Ireland, fueling further speculation about his fighting future.

McGregor Hasn’t Fought in Nearly Five Years

Conor McGregor last stepped into the UFC octagon at UFC 264 on July 11, 2021, where he suffered a gruesome leg break against Dustin Poirier. Since then, McGregor has frequently hinted at a comeback, yet no fight has materialized.

Most recently, he was booked to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303, but a broken toe forced him to withdraw. Now, as time passes and his focus seems elsewhere, fans are beginning to wonder if McGregor will ever return to competition.

Partying with the Nelk Boys Instead of Training

Lately, McGregor appears more focused on promoting Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)—where he holds ownership—than preparing for a UFC return. Additionally, he has been frequently spotted partying.

In a newly surfaced social media video, McGregor can be seen drinking and celebrating with the Nelk Boys at his Dublin pub, The Black Forge Inn. The footage has sparked debates among fans and analysts about his level of commitment to training.

McGregor’s Controversial Comments on Khabib

McGregor may be absent from fighting, but he remains in the headlines—often for the wrong reasons. Recently, he made controversial comments targeting Khabib Nurmagomedov, which many perceived as racist.

This isn’t the first time McGregor has found himself in hot water for offensive remarks. Earlier this year, he insulted Irish MMA fighter Paul Hughes before Hughes’ Bellator fight against Usman Nurmagomedov, which led to backlash from Irish fans.

Spitting Incident and Legal Issues

McGregor’s erratic behavior has led to multiple public incidents. In February 2025, he allegedly spat at a man who had shouted “Let’s go Khabib!” at him. The incident quickly went viral, further damaging his public image.

Beyond that, his legal troubles have overshadowed his career. In November 2024, an Irish civil court found him liable for sexual assault, ordering him to pay €248,603.60 (?2.9 million SEK) to Nikita Hand, who accused him of a 2018 rape in a Dublin hotel.

While McGregor avoided criminal charges, the verdict caused several sponsors and retailers to drop his branded products from their stores.

Is Conor McGregor Done with Fighting?

With his focus seemingly elsewhere and legal troubles mounting, is McGregor’s fighting career over? Fans remain divided—some believe he still has one last run left in him, while others think he is done for good.
