Conor McGregor responds to fan's claim that his yacht vacation will adversely affect his UFC comeback
Conor McGregor suffered a gruesome leg injury last July and hasn't competed in the octagon ever since. While McGregor has upped the ante of his training as of late, some of his social media posts show him vacationing on his 63-feet-long 'Supercar of the Seas' Lamborghini yacht that cost him about $3.6 million.
A Twitter user named MMASqualayee jibed at McGregor over his vacationing and claimed that it’d hurt him in his upcoming MMA bouts:
"While Conor is on a yacht everyone in the lightweight division is training. Keep that in mind when he returns to the UFC."

Not one to be outdone, McGregor fired back by indicating that his shoulders are like cannon balls and that he’s more than capable of beating any opponent. McGregor tweeted:
“Absolute Cannon ball shoulders, step in the pocket and find out. Any one of them. Any weight. Any where.”
