Conor McGregor makes concerning admission about rumored drug use in latest social media rant

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor answered a flurry of questions asked by fans on his X account about his current mindset.

Conor McGregor's latest comeback attempt at UFC 329 ended in a serious right leg injury suffered just seconds into his fight with Max Holloway. After throwing a failed spinning kick as the fight kicked off, McGregor landed awkwardly on his right leg and suffered an injury that could sideline him for another year.

Despite the long-term prognosis and expected recovery period, McGregor wants to return to the Octagon once he's fully healed. He wants to run it back with Holloway for a trilogy bout upon his return.

In the lead-up to UFC 329, McGregor was rumored to have used banned performance-enhancing drugs while recovering from the left leg injury suffered at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. Since winning his first UFC title over Jose Aldo, many fans have accused McGregor of using hard drugs, such as Cocaine, during a series of missteps outside of the Octagon.

Conor McGregor hints he would've ‘ended back in the cycle' with UFC 329 win

In a recent tweet, McGregor responded to a follower who questioned if he was using recreational drugs to get over his disastrous UFC 329 comeback.

“I have not and will not take any mind-altering substances. I feel if the fight had of went any different, favourably or otherwise, even if the fight got to take place at least, I may have cracked the seal on this and ended back in the cycle,†McGregor said.

“However it went the way it went and I am awaiting my surgery and planning my recovery, so zero mind-altering substances have entered my body whatsoever. More time under extreme discipline is required and that is it. I find extreme discipline most enjoyable anyway so happy days.â€

Sean Strickland gives "a lot of motivation" to reinspired Johnny Eblen before PFL Austin title bout

Sean Strickland helms the UFC's middleweight division and steadily gets in work with someone vying for gold in another promotion this weekend. The combatant in question is Johnny Eblen, who runs it back with Impa Kasanganay for a rematch with the interim middleweight belt on the line at PFL Austin on July 18th. The winner will battle lineal PFL middleweight champion Costello Van Steenis at a later juncture when the 185-pound titleholder gets off the shelf from his injury.

Speaking to the motivational component, getting to work with the UFC champion and potential future UFC Hall of Famer in Sean Strickland, who really touts Johnny Eblen's skills in quite a high regard, Eblen said [via Bowks Talking Bouts],

“Yeah, absolutely. A lot of motivation. Especially when you lose to a guy that you know you can beat [Costello Van Steenis]. It definitely gave me motivation to stay with the PFL and right that wrong. Cuz around that time, I was kind of like running through everybody, beating everybody, and I wanted to find new competition outside of the PFL cuz I fought everybody in the PFL.â€

“But having that loss, and then having Bryan Battle come over, and now I get to run it back with Impa [Kasanganay]. Some people thought I might have lost that fight with Impa because it was a split decision and now I have a road back to redemption with Costello [Van Steenis]. It truly spiced up the division and it truly motivated me, I think.â€

Sean Strickland foresees a UFC title fight with Johnny Eblen someday

Sean Strickland and Johnny Eblen have often got in work inside the gym together, whether in Florida or Nevada, with the former envisioning a fight with the latter transpiring someday. Touching upon that during a recent training excursion taken at American Top Team, Strickland stated [via Bloody Elbow],

“First session done with Johnny [Eblen], this guy is a savage… This guy is going to win the [PFL] belt. Then he's going to come to the UFC, he's going to win a fight and then we're going to fight for the belt. And I don't know who's going to f***ing win but I know we're going to fight.â€

To that, Eblen responded,

“It's going to be fun.â€
