Conor McGregor again takes in the festivities at Dublin public house
And posting footage of himself on social media last weekend at his public house in Walkinstown, McGregor revealed he was partying into the early hours alongside pub goers, and was blasted after footage appeared to show the Dubliner reach into the blouse of another female, all with his long-time partner, Dee Devlin in attendance.
However, vowing to "smash" the jaw of Chandler in response to an outcry of concern over his condition just weeks from his return to the Octagon, McGregor once more took the festivities overnight in the capital, posting footage on his own social media.
Receiving criticizm from fellow Irish fighting star, Caolan Loughran, McGregor was accused of being "blind drunk" just weeks out from his fight with Chandler, with the bantamweight urging the veteran striker to show more respect for the sport.
However, a former middleweight champion and Hall of Fame star jumped to the defense of the ex-titleholder, in the form of Michael Bisping, who claimed McGregor would likely be okay to party on.
