The Dubliner was front and centre for Daniel Dubois’ win against Anthony Joshua on Saturday night.
Conor McGregor has been called out by two former UFC stars for “doing weird, douchey s***” while in attendance at the Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois fight at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Seated ringside just behind Tyson Fury, many fans couldn’t take their eyes off of McGregor who was shouting and jumping up and down throughout the fight.

In typical fashion, the former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion was suited and booted in a bright, floral suit and was filmed doing his iconic walk to his seat with a cigar hanging out of his mouth.
This clearly got the attention of ex-fighters Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith, who referenced McGregor’s antics in the latest episode of their Believe You Me podcast.
“Conor, you would have thought he was a big Daniel Dubois fan because when Joshua was getting those, he was out of his seat,” Bisping said.
“Maybe the cigar might have even got lit. Walking in with a big cigar, unlit, between the teeth. How do we feel about that? Because two words spring to mind right now: Douche. Bag.”
Smith doubled down on the Englishman’s remarks, adding: “I don’t know what happens to people or when you change or how much money you have to have to start doing weird, douchey s*** like that.
“Like, how rich do you have to be to wear your sunglasses inside 24/7. For what? I wish I was five percent as cool as he thinks he is. Like, how do you get to be so cool? I don’t know, I don’t get it. And I don’t want to just talk s*** on Conor, but come on, bro. Come on.”

Speaking to DAZN at Saturday’s fight, McGregor confirmed his return to the octagon next year and outlined his desire to take on two fights in 2025.
“It will be 2025,” McGregor said. “We will see. My opponent that I had scheduled… it is what it is. I take it on board and rock on.
“My job is to go to the gym and be in shape, whenever it is and wherever it is,” he added. “I will be 100 per cent ready.
“I must get two fights in 2025. It’s the promised land. Who knows (who the next opponent will be). It does not matter. Whoever, let’s see. I’d like it to be Chandler. I wish him well and see where it goes.”
