CONOR McGREGOR left fans baffled after posting a video of himself with a MONKEY filter as he prepares for his UFC comeback.
The Irishman has posted a series of puzzling videos online recently, but this one could top the lot.
Posing as a monkey, McGregor mutters: “I told you I’d be back” before breaking out in sinister laughing.
It divided fans online, who were torn on whether it was either hilarious or quite worrying.
One said: “Translation: ‘Just getting up to some monkey business.’”
Another said: “Looking good champ.”
One added: “I hope this goes in the deleted tweets pile, this is scary.”
Another added: “Heâs officially lost it fellas.”
McGregor, 34, happens to be a huge fan of apes and even has a gorilla tattooed on his chest.
His weird social media posts come as the former UFC champion returns to training ahead of a comeback next year.
McGregor is yet to return since breaking his leg in the first round of his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier, 33, in July 2021.

He has been ruled out of fighting until 2023, having undertaken his first Hollywood role.
McGregor is starring in a reboot of Patrick Swayze’s 1989 classic Roadhouse, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.
But it has paved the way for superstar to make a massive return to the cage next year.
He said on Instagram Live: “I’m going to be back soon, hopefully. Early 2023 I’m aiming for. Sometime in that first quarter.”
