Former contender for the welterweight title, Gilbert Burns, has shared his perspective on recent videos of Conor McGregor’s partying behavior, suggesting they should not be taken too seriously. Burns believes McGregor is emulating the actions of boxer Ryan Garcia, who displayed similar conduct during his training alongside Devin Haney. In an interview with “Show Me The Money,” Burns emphasized that McGregor’s behavior does not involve actual drinking but rather portrays a character akin to Garcia’s. McGregor is preparing to return to the Octagon in a highly anticipated match against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29, 2024, marking his first MMA bout following a leg injury in 2021. There are apprehensions about McGregor potentially struggling to make weight or failing a drug test ahead of the upcoming fight.
