Whether you love or loathe him, Conor McGregor's world is seldom boring. The UFC icon has not fought since breaking his leg in the first round of his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in 2021.

The Irishman has not secured a victory since knocking out Donald Cerrone more than six years ago, but he has consistently maintained he would make a comeback. His supporters have endured a lengthy wait, but their hopes could be fulfilled at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, with Dana White, who has been in discussions with McGregor, saying: "It's looking good." Beyond the Octagon, McGregor has diversified his business ventures, been embroiled in high-profile court cases and tied the knot with long-term partner Dee Devlin. Here's a round-up of some of the wildest moments from the 37-year-old's life...

Fans spot 'sex act'

McGregor sparked a frenzy amongst followers by uploading what seemed to be footage of him receiving oral sex aboard his yacht. In 2022, he was travelling the globe on his luxury boat with his then-fiancée, Devlin.

Throughout the trip, he shared both footage and a photograph that fans claimed was captured while he was being pleasured. McGregor uploaded an image of himself reclining with the lower portion of his body cropped out.

The caption read: "If you're getting it, get it top floor of the triple deck." A deleted video also surfaced on his story and was captured by fans, appearing to briefly show Devlin's head before panning to the spectacular sea view from the top deck of his boat.

Fans were quick to notice the posts and shared their theories in the comments section, with one fan writing: "Did Conor McGregor really just post himself getting head on IG story?" One fan agreed: "He also posted a picture with no pants, with a caption suggesting it. It's pretty clear what he was doing."

Throwing cans

McGregor lived up to his 'Notorious' nickname by receiving a substantial fine for hurling cans at Nate Diaz during a press conference for their rematch in 2016. After McGregor turned up late, Diaz stormed off the stage before returning with ammunition.

When he did turn up, Diaz launched a bottle of water at McGregor, who returned fire by chucking energy drink cans in his direction. McGregor was fined £118,000 for his part in the altercation and ordered to carry out 50 hours of community service.

Invading cage and slapping official

In 2017, McGregor managed to grab the headlines during a fight he wasn't even involved in. Attending Bellator 187 in Dublin, McGregor stormed the cage to celebrate training pal Charlie Ward's knockout of John Redmond.

When referee Marc Goddard intervened, McGregor shoved the official away before then slapping a Bellator official. He was ultimately escorted out of the cage and subsequently apologised for his conduct, conceding he was "out of line" having been swept up in the excitement of his friend's bout.

In the lead-up to Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC lightweight title clash against Al Iaquinta at UFC 223, the Russian legend and his entourage aggressively cornered Artem Lobov, a former friend turned adversary of McGregor, who then sought retribution.

Accompanied by around 20 men, he charged towards a bus transporting a group of fighters back to their hotel following a promotional event in New York, hurling a steel dolly at its windows. The projectile shattered the glass, leaving Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg with injuries, both of whom were subsequently withdrawn from the card.

McGregor was taken into custody and admitted to disorderly conduct. He was ordered to complete five days of community service and undertake an anger management course.

Punching old man

McGregor found himself embroiled in yet another confrontation when he punched an elderly man in a Dublin pub. The assault occurred after the man declined a shot of McGregor-endorsed Proper Twelve whiskey.

McGregor landed a left hook to the side of the man's head, who remarkably remained conscious after absorbing the blow. McGregor was convicted of assault and fined £842.

Breaking fan's phone

Just months after his devastating loss to Nurmagomedov, McGregor found himself arrested on charges of strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief in Florida.

Police reports revealed that a fan had been photographing McGregor. The fighter reacted by slapping the phone from his hand, stomping on it and making off with the device. The subsequent civil lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.
