Conor McGregor admits to drinking alcohol just days ahead of Khabib Nurmagomedov fight

Conor McGregor has been clean and sober for the months leading up to his return at UFC 246. That wasn’t the case in the days before he last set foot inside the Octagon.

The former two-division champion revealed recently that he was consuming alcohol throughout his training camp as he prepared for Khabib Nurmagomedov. He said he was even drinking during fight week as he got ready to face the undefeated Russian.

“A couple months ago, three, four months ago,” McGregor told ESPN when asked about the last time he consumed alcohol.
