Conor McGregor has been filmed dancing with pop icon Kylie Minogue in Monaco as fans continue to show concern for the UFC star.
McGregor, 34, was in attendance for the Monaco Grand Prix over the weekend as Max Verstappen cruised to another win in a race plagued by rain. The former two-weight UFC champion stayed in town to celebrate Minogue's 55th birthday on Saturday as the pair were spotted dancing to her song 'Padam Padam'.
It isn't the first time McGregor and Minogue have bumped into each other as they met on the same weekend last year at the Cannes Film Festival. With McGregor's comeback fight against Michael Chandler expected to be announced very soon, fans are worried that the Irishman isn't taking his preparation seriously.
After another video emerged of 'Notorious' dancing his way through the crowd in Monaco, one user commented: "Can we please get this man in a gym?". A second comment read: "That’s not a guy who’s taking training for a fight seriously", whilst another user added: "This fight with Chandler is definitely not happening."
McGregor, who is without a win in over three years, hasn't fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in their July 2021 trilogy fight. His fight against Chandler is set to take place at UFC 296 in December amid Dana White recently stating that Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic will take place a month prior, leaving no other date for McGregor vs Chandler this year other than the final pay-per-view of the year.

Despite a physical altercation taking place during their filming of The Ultimate Fighter, McGregor has insisted that he and Chandler are on good terms. "I like Michael, I have no issues with him at all. I think he's a good fighter. Just having a buzz with him, he's a nice guy. I think I'm just gonna slice through him. I think I'm a little too slicey for him than anyone else he's fought – a little too snappy and whippy," he told The Mac Life.
"He's more of an athlete type of a guy than a technical martial artist. I know he's got some skills in the wrestling department, and he's got some skills overall, but as far as like the small, finer details, I'm not sure. I'm happy where I'm at. It will be an interesting one before I go against him."
