We run New York

What did Conor McGregor do with his evening in New York City after absolutely crushing it at the UFC 205 press conference? Well, if his Instagram is any indication, it seems like he spent it smoking what looks suspiciously like a joint. We suppose it could be a rollie full of tobacco, but does Conor seem like the kind of guy to smoke cheapo cigarettes?

If it is the marijuana, we’re glad USADA has upped the amount of cannabinoids allowable in a fighter’s system while out of competition. Along with many athletic commissions across the U.S., they made changes so casual weed smoking would stop triggering drug failures. We’re sure that was a great relief for many fighters, and now the only way to test positive for marijuana is to basically show up on fight night stoned (aka the Nick Diaz method).

Still, we’re at a time where showing up smoking a blunt on social media continues to be a not so great idea. But Conor McGregor seems to believe he’s exempt from most rules, so it’s not shocking that he ain’t care about any potential fallout from this. There have already been several freakouts from the Irish media after he showed up on Instagram toting various kinds of machine guns. So what’s a little pot added into the mix?
