Conor McGregor Spotted in Amsterdam Café
Yet another Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and boxing star has become inexorably linked to cannabis. Conor “The Notorious” McGregor was recently photographed inside one of Amsterdam’s famed cannabis cafés during a trip to the Dutch country.
An Instagram user spotted Conor McGregor at Prix d’Ami, a cannabis café located in Amsterdam and promptly posted her photos. Prix d’Ami also posted a photo on Instagram on Feb. 11 of McGregor as he was at the counter while a worker showed him cannabis.
Prix d’Ami’s post of McGregor at its shop has begun to go viral. McGregor also posted a photo of himself at the Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum as he observed a Bansky piece and another while he was out and about in Amsterdam.
Support for cannabis within the world of MMA in 2018 is stronger than ever. Nick and Nate Diaz both have signaled support for medical cannabis, while Ronda Rousey has said she is vehemently opposed to drug testing for cannabis in MMA sports. In the world of boxing, Mike Tyson is investing in a massive cannabis resort.
The Irish-born MMA star has drawn million pay-per-views as one of the sport’s most popular fighters. McGregor’s fight with Floyd Mayweather has become one of the most popular boxing matches of all time.
Just a month ago, McGregors fans suspected a cannabis pre-roll in one of his Instagram posts. In another Instagram post, McGregor appears to be holding a pre-roll as well. UFC fighters are permitted to consume cannabis, so long as it is consumed while they are not in competition. It would seem McGregor isn’t too worried about his fans figuring out whether or not he smokes cannabis. But with his latest visit to an Amsterdam café, there is little doubt left.
