Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has been a busy man as of late, whether it be filming his new movie, a remake of Road House, or working with the UFC to plan his next fight in the octagon. And now, fans are worried that his workload may be too much on him after he displayed some extremely concerning behavior in a recent interview.
McGregor and Road House co-star Jake Gyllenhaal recently did an interview together with Sports Illustrated to discuss the movie and some of the fight scenes involved in the filming.
Throughout the interview, McGregor appeared to be involuntarily spasming, clearly bothered by something which was quite noticeable to most watching his mannerisms.

It’s obviously unclear exactly what was bothering him in this instance. But regardless, fans are hoping that McGregor is okay and that this isn’t super serious.

This is not normal nor good
for a such a talented fighter like him, I hope he got cross over these things.

Extremely sad

Whatever is going on, it clearly doesn’t look great. Hopefully, this is just McGregor being overworked, and now that the movie is officially out, he can rest up and get back to 100 percent.
McGregor notably also has a fight lined up with fellow UFC competitor Michael Chandler, which McGregor recently said will take place sometime this summer. But before he steps back into the cage, this situation very clearly needs to be taken care of.
