The video marks the latest instant of McGregor doing everything but working on his octagon return, which fans have been waiting for since 2021, when he snapped his shin against Dustin Poirier in the pair's trilogy bout. In the thread under the tweet, one fan wondered why McGregor wasn't training.

"Why isn't he training"

Others referenced a quote echoed by his bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov during their UFC 229 clash, which 'The Eagle' won via fourth-round submission.

Meanwhile, another fan compared the ex-UFC double champion with controversial social media influencer Dan Bilzerian.

Conor McGregor isn't the only UFC champion who enjoys firearms

While Conor McGregor shooting a machine gun may very well go viral, there have been other UFC champions who have exhibited an even greater appreciation for firearms. Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is well known for being a firearm enthusast, often frequenting a firing range in his spare time.

Similarly, current UFC women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland are gun owners who also frequent firing ranges as a hobby.
