Conor McGregor is out and about days after Chael Sonnen dropped some serious allegations against him.
Earlier this week, Sonnen claimed that McGregor was not injured and implied the UFC superstar was in rehab during an ESPN podcast.
“McGregor’s not hurt. I don’t know if we’re making TV here, how much we’re supposed to play along.”
“Conor McGregor is not injured, and it’s a very tough spot when he has the people that are coming out speaking for him that have been filled in, and they’ve all sworn to secrecy.”
“.. What incredible irony that both sides have these massive interests in alcohol, and one side(McGregor) is in the middle of rehab for substance abuse, including alcohol.”
“I’m just saying, that’s a tough story to tell. .. Have this proper drink. I’ll see you in a proper while because I’m in a proper facility right now.”

Conor McGregor showed up in public for the first time since his big UFC 303 comeback fight was called off over an undisclosed injury — and the UFC superstar looked no worse for wear.
35-year-old McGregor attended a movie premiere at his bar, The Black Forge Inn, in Dublin on Tuesday where they screened actor John Connors’ new film, “The Black Guelph.”
The images also fully put to rest any speculation Notorious was in rehab — as was suggested by Chael Sonnen this week (Conor’s rep adamantly denied the rumor to TMZ Sports on Tuesday) — ’cause not only was McGregor in a bar, he was seen drinking whiskey and beer.
Conor’s team has already denied the rehab allegations and said he is just waiting to heal from injury to get another date.
