While the post touched on McGregor's prolonged absence from the fighting scene, some fans took the opportunity to speculate on a different angle. Comments on the post focused on the two fighters' alleged history of drug use.
One fan humorously remarked:
"The amount of cocaine consumed in this picture is record-breaking."
Another pointed out McGregor's physique, writing:
"There isn’t a mountain of cocaine big enough for this photo. Btw look at Conor’s forearms. If this photo doesn’t say he can’t compete at 170 then idk what would. Now him winning a world title at that weight or even beating top contenders is a different story."
Other fans chimed in and wrote:
"Conor met his match in the sniffing game," while another quipped about an "all white party."
"Connor met his match in the sniffing game 🙌"
"All white party i see lol"
"Ran into each other at their dealers house 😂"
