"Mr. Tasty Shots" - Conor McGregor reacts after popular energy drink maker releases new 'Notorious Bucked' subline
Conor McGregor now has a line of zero-sugar energy drinks on the way that bear his image and he has voiced his thoughts on the new endeavor online. Bucked Up is heavily involved in the world of energy drinks with further reach into the world of pre-workouts and apparel as well.
X account @BevnEditor recently announced the details of their latest product which is adorned with the likeness of the former UFC double champ in a message that read:
"#Energy drink maker Bucked Up @buckedup is marking its new partnership with @TheNotoriousMMA by releasing a subline called "Notorious Bucked" in Irish Apple and Orange flavors, starting next year. Will be on showcase at #NACSnext week #beverage #CPG"
McGregor retweeted that bit of news regarding this partnership, saying:
"Mr. Tasty Shots does it again! @buckedup"

Conor McGregor's connection with Bucked Up
Conor McGregor and Bucked Up have been adjacent to one another lately even before this partnership as both have tendrils that connect them to BKFC. Bucked Up has been involved in sponsorship of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship for a lengthy enough time now and is a prominent part of an advertisement on their shows.
Also, McGregor has been quite involved publically with the promotion this calendar year as an announcement was made in April of this year related to him having a partial ownership stake within the bare-knuckle boxing promotion.
The 36-year-old becoming a brand ambassador for what is dubbed the official energy drink of BKFC seemed like an inevitability considering how the last few months have played out.
This official McGregor drink is said to be hitting shelves during the early portion of 2025. Speaking to MMA Knockout on SI, Bucked Up CEO and co-founder Ryan Gardner described the deal as a no-brainer and that McGregor exemplifies all of the qualities that define their brand.
'The Notorious' also offered up a lengthier statement regarding how he doesn't partner up with just anyone and that this Bucked Up brand is the real deal. The Dublin native went on to talk about how this deal is all about pushing limits and that the two entities in this new partnership are coming to take over the game.
Perhaps fewer Forged Irish Stouts will be slammed at BKFC events by the Irish combat sports athlete and replaced by more Bucked Up drinks following this new partnership with McGregor.
