McGregor's rehabilitation: what is known
Sonnen said that Conor McGregor has serious problems with alcohol and drug abuse. This information was a real shock for many fans of the Irishman.
"It's very ironic that Conor and Chandler both love alcohol, and now one of them is in rehab for alcoholism and drug addiction. I just want to say that it's not an easy story, it's not easy to talk about," said Sonnen.
