Conor McGregor has delivered a three-word response to Joe Rogan’s take on his lavish lifestyle.
McGregor is one of the biggest stars in the world of MMA and UFC, he boasts a record of 22 wins out of 28 fights, with 19 coming via knockout.
However, the Irishman has lost his previous two fights against Dustin Poirier, in January and July of 2021.
Speaking recently on his podcast, Rogan spoke about McGregor’s lifestyle.
He said: “Why do you become successful in the first place? So you can live like a f**king baller!

“And that’s what Conor’s been doing… so he’s watching Formula 1 while eating breakfast at the back of his yacht.”
Fellow presenter Cameron Hanes said: “But you can party and be a mad man when you are 40?.”
This led to Rogan replying with: “But you can do it now and that’s what he wants to do.”
Hanes then said: “I’m sick of it, I want to see him in the gym.”

Rogan then added: “I want him to do what he wants to do. If Conor McGregor wants to buy diamonds and lay around the sun, I’m all there for it. The guy earned every f*king penny he got. I’m happy for him.”
In response to Rogan, McGregor took to social media and wrote: “Love you Joe!”
Last week, UFC boss Dana White was asked about a potential fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler, he said: “Eventually. Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall. [Hopefully] we get it done in the fall.”

Speaking in January, Chandler told MMA Fighting: “I’m not going to lie to you and say there weren’t moments of frustration.
“Moments of, ‘Screw it, fight somebody else!’ That’s what everybody was saying I should do for months now.”
He added: “But I signed my name to this contract, made this commitment. I want to fight Conor. He wants to fight me. It’s just not on everybody’s timeline.”
