Conor McGregor's lavish lifestyle continues to be a focal point amidst the ongoing speculation about his UFC comeback. The former two-division champion recently shared another glimpse of his opulent lifestyle, posting a video of himself cruising on his $3.6 million yacht.

The timing of the post is particularly intriguing, given the recent exchange between McGregor and UFC CEO Dana White regarding the Irishman's return to the octagon. White had poured cold water on the idea of a McGregor fight this year, stating that while the former champion is eager to compete, it won't happen in 2023.

McGregor swiftly responded, expressing his desire for a December fight and calling out White and the UFC to make it happen. The back-and-forth between the two high-profile figures only fueled the fire of fan anticipation for McGregor's return.

While the former champion enjoys his time on the water, social media users couldn't help but react to his luxurious lifestyle.

Some fans expressed admiration for McGregor's success, while others playfully compared his yacht video to a trailer for the highly anticipated video game, 'GTA VI.'

Michael Chandler is ready to move on from Conor McGregor fight if needed

Michael Chandler has made it clear that he’s not willing to wait indefinitely for his highly anticipated showdown with Conor McGregor. The two former TUF coaches were set to collide in the octagon, but McGregor’s injury derailed those plans.

While Chandler remains optimistic about the fight happening eventually, he's also realistic about the possibility of it falling through. The former Bellator champion has suggested that a rematch with Charles Oliveira is the most likely alternative if the McGregor fight doesn't materialize:

"I am an optimist by default, so I do believe the Conor fight will happen... But as much as I respect Conor, my legacy is not hinged upon this fight...The most realistic option for me if you look at the landscape and you consider everything is Charles Oliveira. I love the rematch with Charles. I think it’s a great fight to get the fans pumped up.'' [H/t: MMA Mania]
