‘Notorious’ has been training hard and appears to be in terrific shape.
However, he’s yet to fully commit himself to the life of a fighter as he’s still drinking the alcoholic beverages – Proper 12 Irish Whiskey and Forged Irish Stout – that helped make him worth £200million.
On Sunday, McGregor revealed he is ready to quit drinking and fully focus on his upcoming fight in a bizarre message aimed at Justin Bieber.
He wrote alongside five pictures of him and the popstar: “My brother Justin Bieber, the Mac has your back for life!

“From Beverly Hills to the Bahamas! See you in Vegas bro, it’s game on, the Mac is back!
“Five more nights on the delicious and then that be that see ya’s tonight I'M NOT F***NG LEAVING.”
McGregor and Bieber have been friends for several years, with the Irishman thanking the singer for a message ahead of his trilogy with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
After that fight ended with a disastrous injury, the unlikely pals were pictured hanging out and drinking whiskey together at a fancy Beverley Hills pool club.

The two men came together again at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2021.
McGregor, who got into a scuffle with Machine Gun Kelly earlier in the evening, presented Bieber with an award for ‘Artist of the Year’ before the Canadian singer sent him some positive vibes during his speech.

Bieber looked at the UFC star and said: “We’re gonna get ’em next time.”
A year later, McGregor and Bieber bumped into each other on a tennis court in the Bahamas, but they haven’t been seen together since.
Regardless, it appears they are still firm friends and McGregor wants the ‘Baby’ hitmaker to be sitting in the front row when he fights Chandler this summer.
'Mystic Mac' predicts he will finish Chandler in sensational style.
“I am ‘Terminator’ now,” he said on with James Corden.
“I have a titanium rod that goes into the knee and down to the bone, right down to my ankle. It’s unbreakable, so I have free reign to kick now, so I’m ready to go and I’m excited.
“I wish for, and I will work for landing this kick with this steel bar in my leg against an opponent and getting them out of there.
"I want to see a picture of myself in the Octagon with my leg broken, and then I want to see a picture of myself in the octagon with my leg wrapped around my opponent’s neck or head and putting him out and side by side.”
