Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor and Kylie Minogue steal the show with dance moves at Monaco F1 Grand Prix Bash
For the second year in a row, Conor McGregor and Kylie Minogue have reunited in Monaco, and this time they danced together. This past weekend, UFC’s biggest star and the pop singer were on the French Riviera to witness Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and the rest of the Formula One stars compete in the latest Grand Prix.
The former two-weight UFC champion and Minogue became fast friends after being seen together at the premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic in June.
Fans speculated that Minogue and McGregor already knew each other because of how friendly she seemed to be with McGregor and his long-time companion, Dee Devlin, prompting the 55-year-old to address the speculation on a talk show. After fans noticed how friendly Minogue appeared to be with McGregor and his long-time partner, Dee Devlin, the 55-year-old was compelled to address the speculation on a talk show.
Speaking in an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Minogue stated:
“That was totally random, we look so happy there. I just bumped into him after the Elvis premiere in Cannes, as you do. My three nephews are 11, 13, and 16. So, I get a message from one of them going, ‘You met Conor McGregor?’ There is so many moments that I didn’t think would travel that far but I was excited.”
Eddie Alvarez, a former UFC Lightweight Champion, has provided Michael Chandler with advice on how to defeat Conor McGregor. UFC President Dana White would like to schedule McGregor vs. Chandler before the end of the year, but there is currently no set date for the fight. McGregor has resolved his issues with the USADA and will soon return to the testing pool.
According to Alvarez, Chandler should try to grapple with the “Notorious” one early in their fight, as he stated in an interview with ESPN.
“Mike Chandler is a hell of an athlete,” Alvarez told ESPN. “I just think stylistically, the way he’s been fighting and the strategy he’s been going about fighting isn’t the way to get it done against Conor McGregor. And I would implore him if I was his coach to change his style, to go for single legs, to go for shots, and force Conor to wrestle early.”
“You have to force him to wrestle early so he don’t have the powerful tools that he’s able to take advantage of (against) all these other guys – quick feet, good range, great striking. You take that away when you wrestle him early. Wrestle him early enough and tire his shoulders down, tire his legs down, slow him down, and he’s half the striker that he can be when he’s fully energized.”
For better or worse, Chandler sometimes forgoes his wrestling in favour of standup. To what extent he chooses to engage in a grappling match with McGregor in an effort to tire him out and ultimately finish him remains to be seen. He could even try to attack with leg kicks.
