CONOR McGREGOR shared a series of late-night social media posts that left fans concerned over his drinking habits.
The Notorious belts out a rendition of The Fields of Athenry in one video which was shared at 6:10am Irish time – but 1:10am in Florida where he’s currently based.

He’s currently stateside in Florida so it would have been around 1am over there
Late on in the clip, which lasts for almost three minutes, he says he has been ‘skulling pints of Black Forge stout’.
The latest example of the 34-year-old indulging in a boozy session left many fans concerned that he’s not taking his UFC comeback all that seriously.
One person tweeted: “Bro is never fighting again.”
While another added: “Aren’t you and (Michael) Chandler meant to be throwing down in like a couple of months?”
Lastly, someone else stated: “He clearly doesn’t have the eye of the tiger anymore. Just happy to party all day and night.”
McGregor is indeed booked to make his octagon return against the former Bellator champion.
However, while confirmation of that bout first came in early February, an exact fight date has not followed.
It’s highly unusual for it to be left this late in the day for a match-up carrying the extra exposure provided by The Ultimate Fighter spotlight to be given a date.
All fans have to go on so far are hints from UFC chief Dana White that whenever the contest does go ahead, it will be full of fireworks.
FIGHTING TALK
The 53-year-old has alluded to a downward spiral in relations between the two over the course of filming the MMA reality TV show – where they coach rival teams of unknown fighters to compete against one another.
Last month, he said: “Chandler and Conor were very respectful to each other.
“And then some things started escalating that you will see on the show and they do not like each other now.
“I don’t look at stuff that’s good for the show or things like that.
“Whatever happens, happens. The stuff that just happened shouldn’t happen.
“I’m getting old boys, I’m getting old.
“I would have been in there sooner back in the old days, but yeah, not good.
“A lot of s*** went down on Friday.”
