Conor McGregor shares morning routine hours after nude pic scandal
Conor McGregor has revealed his morning routine, which includes immersing his head in a bowl of ice-cold water with cucumber slices, just hours after alleged nude photos of him lifting weights with his private parts were leaked. The former two-weight UFC champion found himself making headlines when rapper Azealia Banks shared photos on social media allegedly showing a naked McGregor lifting weights with his manhood. The Mirror has reached out to McGregor's representatives for a response. In a video posted on X - previously known as Twitter - on Tuesday morning, the 37 year old shared his morning cucumber ritual aboard his yacht with his multitude of followers. The routine bears a striking resemblance to that of Ashton Hall - a former running back turned online fitness coach. Hall has become an internet sensation for his morning routine that includes 4am push-ups, plunging his face into a bowl of icy water and hitting the gym. At first, the Irishman can be seen declining a picture request from a fan - who was seemingly waiting on the dock. He then shows off his rather eye-catching watch before showing off a bowl filled with ice, water and cucumber slices. An energetic McGregor then dips his head into the bowl for a few seconds before re-emerging and then repeating the same process for a second time. McGregor - who is currently enjoying some time away in Sardinia with his family - then has a brief interaction with a fan waiting to take a picture with him. "You know who you look like? Charles Oliviera!" Said the Irishman. The UFC icon ends the video with a smile on his face, saying: "We have arrived! The McGregors have arrived!" The 'Notorious' appeared to be in great spirits despite his latest controversies. The Irishman took to social media for the first time on Monday evening after allegedly sending Banks explicit pictures. In a post uploaded to social media, the UFC legend opted AGAINST addressing the incident and instead wished himself a happy birthday. Taking X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "Happy birthday to me." It comes just a day after he was seen kissing a dark-haired woman that was not his fiancee, Dee Devlin. Over the weekend, McGregor was caught on camera enjoying himself at a beach in Florida - where he was spotted jet skiing before cuddling up to an unknown woman. The 37-year-old was photographed laying out a towel for the woman before wrapping his arm around her shoulders, with The Sun reporting the 'Notorious' appeared to relish the attention from female admirers nearby. Following the recent news involving the UFC legend, Devlin - McGregor's fiancee - appears to be standing by her man despite the compromising photographs. Devlin and McGregor, who have been engaged since 2020, are proud parents to four children. On Monday, she shared a fan account's birthday message on social media that said: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." She then posted a series of photos of herself with McGregor. When is Conor McGregor's next fight? McGregor has not fought since losing to former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier back in 2021. He was due to make a return to competitive action last year against former Bellator lightweight world champion Michael Chandler. However, he pulled out of the clash after picking up an injury in training. The 37-year-old has posted regular clips of him training over the last few weeks amid talks of a potential comeback. US president Donald Trump recently revealed his plans to host a UFC event at the White House. Following Trump's comments, McGregor teased a return to action. Speaking at a recent press conference for a Bare Knuckle FC event - a promotion which McGregor is a co-owner of - the Irishman revealed the sensational news. He said: "It's looking like I'm headed to the Oval Office again. That's where I'm headed next." His statement was met by a round of applause from fans in attendance.
