Conor McGregor is set to make his MMA return after a three-year injury layoff, but he has a strange way of going about preparing for it.

At least, that seems to be the buzz on social media — as McGregor was recorded out partying past 2 a.m., dancing with fiancee Dee Devlin and the mother of his four children with a drink in his hand.
McGregor is about a month away from his next bout, as he's scheduled to face Michael Chandler at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on June 29. But again, he appears to be living the high life (or did for at least one night) as he gets ready.
"On Saturday night, DJ Mark Kinchen played a surprise set at McGregor's Black Forge Inn pub and the UFC superstar popped in to enjoy the party," Talk Sport wrote." The following day, he shared a video of him arriving at the venue with his long-time partner, Dee Devlin, and posing for pictures with fans during what seemed to be a pretty tame night.
"In a deleted post, McGregor shared pictures of him holding bottles of alcohol and letting loose as he partied until the early hours of the morning— however there's nothing to suggest he was actually drinking them."
Then there was the scandalous dance with Devlin, that was captured on video and went viral.

Interestingly, the partying video came out just days after McGregor, 35, indicated that he had given up alcohol to prepare for the Chandler fight.
Then again, nobody saw him drinking. He was merely holding the drink.
But hey, if McGregor wins it's no big deal. If he loses, though, people may point to this video.
