Another crazy day in the life of Conor McGregor.

In the space of 12 hours, ‘The Notorious’ discovered that Irish police are investigating him for a recent Instagram post and had reports emerge of his next UFC title fight.

McGregor dons a balaclava and appears to be holding a replica gun in his Instagram post, which is accompanied by the caption: ‘Put the fight game in the bag and step away from the vehicle.’

A garda spokesperson told SportsJOE that they are investigating the circumstances behind the photo but they could not give any further details.

Hours after that confirmation was given, reports emerged from America that McGregor would get the chance to fight for his second UFC title against Rafael Dos Anjos.

The bout, which could see the Dubliner make history, looks set for UFC 197 in Las Vegas, on March 5.
