Conor McGregor draws social-media attention after a video shows him having difficulty getting a MAC Energy drink delivered by a drone while he is recovering from recent knee surgery. In the footage, McGregor appears to be wearing casts and using crutches as the drone hovers with the can attached.
According to reports, McGregor moves toward the drone, drops a crutch, and tries to grab the drink but finds it out of reach. He then uses a crutch to pull the can closer before finally managing to take it. The incident sparks different reactions online, with some fans finding it humorous and others questioning whether it is safe or necessary to attempt the retrieval while injured.
The outlets also place the moment within the broader context of McGregor’s rehabilitation. He is recovering from a knee injury sustained earlier during his fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in July. Medical assessments reportedly indicate damage to the ACL and meniscus, leading to another operation. The drone delivery becomes a lighter talking point amid his challenging recovery period.
