Conor McGregor criticised for "thinking he's champion" by partying with UFC belt

Conor McGregor has been criticised by fans for "thinking he's champion" after being spotted partying with a UFC belt draped around him.

The UFC superstar has been out of action for over a year having broken his leg during a second consecutive defeat to Dustin Poirier last July. His form in the octagon has significantly declined since he reigned as UFC two-weight world champion in 2016, having lost three of his last four fights.

McGregor has recently been stepping up his return to training as he eyes a comeback in 2023, which he has promised will be "the greatest ever". And it appears that the Irishman has already laid his eyes on the prize, and was recently spotted partying while holding a UFC title.
