Is drinking on the job a really good idea? Well, former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor definitely doesn't shy away from it and fans are furious over the Irishman's inability to distance himself from alcohol.

In a recent Instagram post, 'The Notorious' can be seen serving his signature Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey to The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contestants. McGregor is currently coaching the show opposite fellow UFC fighter Michael Chandler.

However, the Irishman's behavior has rattled some feathers within his fanbase, with many taking to the comment section to express their wrath with what they felt was an irresponsible action on McGregor's part. Take a look at a few responses below.

An Instagram user expressed his thoughts on the hilarity of the situation, saying:

"Drinking on the job. 🤣"

Another user opined that although McGregor still has a competitive fire in him, excessive alcohol consumption is going to hamper his ability as a fighter:

"Conor still has the desire to compete. But living that good life and drinking that whiskey every day will take its toll on a fighter."

A concerned Conor McGregor fan appealed to the fighter to stop drinking, reasoning that the Irishman was an overall better fighter without alcohol in his system. While one admirer warned McGregor that Michael Chandler would destroy him in their fight if he didn't slow down on alcohol.

Conor McGregor predicts he is going to "slice through" Michael Chandler in their fight

Later this year, TUF 31 coaches Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are scheduled to go head-to-head in the octagon, and 'The Notorious' believes that he is going to get a win over the American.

In McGregor's own words, he is "too slicey" for the former Bellator champion. Speaking to his own media organization, TheMacLife on the TUF set, the 34-year-old proclaimed that he is a much different fighter than anyone 'Iron' has faced:

"I think I'm just going to slice through him. I think I'm a little too slicey for him than anyone else he has fought. A little too snappy and whippy and I think I'll slice through him."
