Strung-out Conor McGregor ‘looks 10 years older than Dana White’ — ‘His eyelids are screaming cocaine’
Conor McGregor turns 37 in July.
But according to former middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen, who now serves as UFC analyst for ESPN, the “Notorious” ex-champion appeared to be at least 10 years older than 55 year-old promotion CEO, Dana White, in a recent side-by-side pic posted to social media.
Excessive substance abuse to blame?
“They did a side-by-side, it was Conor and Dana,” Sonnen said on Instagram. “I swear to goodness, Conor looked 10 years older than Dana White, and you could see it in the eyes. You could see the booze in the eyelids and the cocaine in the eyeballs, saying ‘I wanna fight.’ And then you’ve got a promoter who’s the only one with the legal right on the face of the earth to make it so that you can fight, and that promoter is standing there saying, ‘We’re not even close, I’m not even taking his calls right now.’”
McGregor openly admitted to snorting cocaine during his recent civil suit.
Despite his inactivity, which dates all the way back to summer 2021, thirsty UFC fighters continue to pine for a potential “Notorious” fight, simply because the power-punching Irishman has a history of generating massive pay-per-view (PPV) buys for each appearance.
“So when you find that happening but then you find guys jumping up and down in the background saying, ‘pick me, choose me’ … how far has your career fallen,” Sonnen continued. “How far would it have to fall? When you sit at home over social media begging for an opportunity from a guy who looks older than the guy next to him that’s got him by a decade and whose eyes are screaming gin and eyelids are screaming cocaine.”
White recently told UFC fans that McGregor is “not fighting anytime soon.”
