Conor McGregor was spotted partying on a night out just six weeks before his UFC comeback fight against Michael Chandler.
The former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion had previously hinted that he would be going on a self-imposed alcohol ban ahead of his bout at UFC 303 on June 30.
McGregor was seen in the video which was posted on X (formerly Twitter) dancing in his Dublin bar The Black Forge Inn and was also seen sharing a kiss with his fiance Dee Devlin.
McGregor was also pictured in a series of separate videos posing behind the DJ decks along with several fans. In another clip, he raised a bottle of whiskey into the air while dancing behind the decks.
One video showed the 35-year-old arriving at the venue via a luxurious soft-top Bently before the MMA star strutted into the bar wearing a pair of sunglasses while a flare went off next to him.

The former UFC champion had recently stated that he would be abstaining from alcohol ahead of his comeback
His long-awaited return to The Octagon was confirmed in April, with the MMA star, who owns the Proper No 12 whisky and stout brand, recently stating he would be committing to clean living ahead of the bout.
In a post to American pop star Justin Bieber, McGregor wrote: 'My brother, 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 IM NOT F***ING LEAVING.'
In March, he had also stated that once he had the all clear to return to the UFC he would abstain from drinking ahead of a comeback fight.

'Once I get the leg cleared and I get that feeling when I kick a body, step back in and out, then I'll be able to gauge time,' McGregor said, per MARCA.
'Then I'm going to isolate myself, stay away from the pub, stay away from my Forged Irish stout, my delicious smooth Proper 12 Irish whiskey and dedicate myself to my craft 100 per cent.
'I'll give it a month or two of that and see how everything goes and then make the move [for a comeback].'
He had also nearly broken his alcohol abstinance during a live stream on KICK, before opening up on his sobriety ahead of the fight. He appeared to be holding a pint of Irish Stout on the stream and instead of taking a sip, he chose to sniff it instead.

One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Bro, Conor McGregor is six weeks from the Chandler fight and is just living his best life'
'Forged Irish Stout, ladies and gentlemen. Look at the cream on that,' McGregor said to the Duelbits streaming channel.
He added: 'That's unbelievable, folks.
'I've been off the drink. I've been off my beautiful products since the 10-week mark. So, we are five weeks and five days out. I'm taking this seriously.'
One fan took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on the videos, with one claiming: 'Bro, Conor McGregor is six weeks from the Chandler fight and is just living his best life.'
McGregor last fought in the MMA on July 10, 2021, where he suffered a horrible leg break during a TKO defeat by Dustin Poirier.
