Ben Askren on Conor McGregor’s lifestyle

In a recent conversation with Daniel Cormier, Ben Askren shared his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s lifestyle.

“It’s pretty obvious to me that Conor McGregor is an addict,” Askren said as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. “And he is rich enough that it doesn’t really have a hugely negative impact on his life.

Everyone kind of lets him do what he wants to do, but this guy clearly is out partying, can’t show up for training camp. And then because he can’t show up for training camp, he can’t get ready to fight. There’s videos of him partying constantly".

Ben Askren on the warnings he gave

“But he did kind of drag on that he was going to fight for two years. So it’s really annoying, but I was on record saying he’s not fighting in 2023. I was on record saying Michael Chandler should move on and just say, ‘Hey, you’re not a serious fighter anymore, you’re an addict and you can’t train.’ I’ve said that many times.

Probably both (drugs and alcohol). I don’t know that I can make any pronouncements without actually seeing him do it, but I’ve watched videos enough to know that this guy is out of control, he’s partying constantly, and from all rumors, he’s on multiple substances”.
