UFC superstar Conor McGregor has left fans scratching their heads after he shared a “weird” X-rated message with his millions of Instagram followers.
McGregor is set to make his sensational return to the UFC in 2023 with his role as a head coach on The Ultimate Fighter 31, which will debut on TV in May.
The 34-year-old Irish fighter will be opposite MMA star Michael Chandler on TUF 31, with UFC president Dana White confirming the pair will fight one another after the season.

UFC legend McGregor has been out of the octagon since his second consecutive defeat to MMA star Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021.
The ‘Notorious’ suffered a horrific leg break against Poirier inside the first round of their trilogy fight in Las Vegas, which ended as a result of a doctor’s stoppage.
Despite his absence from MMA, McGregor has continued to tease fans with his chiselled physique ahead of his long-awaited return to the octagon.

The future UFC Hall of Famer took to Instagram and shared a photo of him posing in front of the mirror for a selfie with his bulked-up physique.
However, McGregor’s legion of fans were left confused after spotting the caption he chose to accompany his Instagram post.
“I smell so good you moan a little if I hug you,” he wrote.
One fan posted: “What is this caption, Connor?”

And a fifth simply posted: “Conor McSussy.”
Someone else commented: “That’s such a weird caption.”
UFC chief White has claimed that the fight between McGregor and Chandler is still in the works, but a specific date for when it might take place has not been confirmed.
“We’re still working on that and figuring that out,” he said.

“There’s a lot of work to do on the Conor fight still. They’re going to fight -- when, isn’t guaranteed.
“When, what weight class, what are these guys doing? Conor’s filming this season of The Ultimate Fighter with Chandler, but Conor’s still coming back from that shin break.
“There’s still a lot of questions and ifs, and we don’t have answers yet.”
