The UFC’s most flamboyant star is celebrating a win outside the Octagon. Conor McGregor’s Dublin-based pub, The Black Forge Inn, has clinched the “Best Food of the Year” award at the prestigious Bar of the Year Awards. It’s a golden moment for McGregor and one that he couldn’t be more proud of.

The Black Forge Inn has become more than just a local watering hole since McGregor acquired it. It’s a culinary hotspot, drawing visitors from around the globe. Some come to catch a glimpse of the man himself, but many stay for the food, which has now been crowned the best in the business. This is what McGregor posted on his Instagram:

“YES!!! Our @theblackforgeinn has just won GOLD for best food at the @baroftheyear_ awards! I am so beyond incredibly proud of our culinary team and the entire team who are all instrumental in making this dream win a reality for us! Thank you all and enjoy the celebrations and thank you so much our loyal patrons who visit from all over the world to see what we are about! We love you all! THE BLACK FORGE FOREVER!”

The award is a testament to McGregor’s ability to turn whatever he touches into gold—literally, in this case. The man who once dominated the UFC proves he can do the same in the culinary world.

Conor McGregor’s foray into the pub business hasn’t just been a side hustle. It’s clear he’s putting as much passion into this venture as he did into his fighting career. And, just like in the UFC, he’s aiming to be the best.

Conor McGregor Contradicts Dana White’s Statement And Calls For A December Comeback

While the fighting world remains eager for McGregor’s return, UFC CEO Dana White recently threw cold water on the idea of him stepping back into the Octagon this year. White’s statement surprised many, given McGregor’s past readiness to seize any opportunity to brawl. Yet, true to form, he isn’t backing down.

The ‘Notorious‘ responded with a firm rebuttal that has fans buzzing. Instead of quietly accepting the decision, he took to social media, issuing a fiery counterstatement. McGregor proclaimed that he’s already planning to head to altitude training next month to prepare. If there’s one thing McGregor’s fans know, it’s that when he sets his mind to something, he’s all in.

McGregor’s response wasn’t just a reaction but a rallying cry. He made it clear that he’s not just looking to return—he wants to end the calendar year with a bang. As the UFC world waits with bated breath, one thing is certain: McGregor’s story is far from over. Whether his December comeback materializes or not, he’s already set the stage for another chapter in his ever-dramatic career.
