"So much for training camp" - Fans react as Conor McGregor slams beer cage-side with BKFC star Ben Bonner after latter's scary KO win over Lewis Keen

Conor McGregor's recent antics ring-side for the latest Bare Knuckle FC event may have brought entertainment to fans, but it dampened any hope they might have had about the Irishman's return to the UFC. 'The Notorious' was captured in the process of downing a beer with BKFC fighter Ben Bonner.

Bonner had just secured a massive knockout win moments earlier, when McGregor was on hand to give the fighter a can of Irish Forged Stout, and the pair celebrated a sensational moment.

A video of McGregor and Bonner was posted to X by BKFC's official page, which was then reposted by @HappyPunch, who wrote:

"Conor McGregor just slammed a beer ringside with a fighter who KO'd his opponent cold."

With McGregor having long spoken about his desire to return to the UFC, the recent footage has left fans disillusioned with the former champion. Many fans reacted positively to the footage of 'The Notorious' drinking merrily, but other fans have called out the Dublin native for his conflicting attitudes.

Conor McGregor labeled "alcoholic drug addict" by Belal Muhammad's manager amid feud

Conor McGregor and Belal Muhammad have recently been beefing online after the welterweight champion withdrew from his scheduled fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov.

The pair were expected to headline UFC 310, but 'Remember the Name' suffered a bone infection in his toe and has been placed on a six-week cycle of IV anti-biotics.

The Irishman is currently seeking retribution for the welterweight's jibe aimed at 'The Notorious' after he was forced out of his UFC 303 clash with Michael Chandler.

After McGregor announced he had broken his toe and could not face Chandler, Muhammad posted "my foot was a balloon" on X, a reference to the former champion's famous interview with Ariel Helwani.

Following news that the UFC 310 main event had been canceled, 'The Notorious' posted several laughing emojis as he appeared to mock Muhammad, which has drawn a response from his manager, Ali Abdelaziz.

Abdelaziz has also worked with Khabib Nurmagomedov for years, McGregor's biggest rival.

The MMA manager wrote:

"@TheNotoriousMMA you can never be even 10% of the man Belal is. He's the sitting welterweight champion. You're a sitting alchoholic drug addict who ran from Michael Chandler. You were never the same after Khabib. He ruined you."
