McGregor shared a clip of Romero's iconic battle with Paulo Costa ahead of the Brazilian's UFC 278 clash against Luke Rockhold. The clip shows a crazy sequence where the 'Soldier of God' gets dropped by Costa, immediately recovers and points away before returning the favor. Giving props to Romero's "craftiness", McGregor claimed he would model the second half of his career on the Cuban knockout artist.

Excited for the fights this evening. twitter.com/DovySimuMMA/st… Fans are seemingly unimpressed with McGregor's plans for the second innings of his career. Many believe the Irishman's chin won't hold up in slugfests as Romero's did. Taking a dig at McGregor, a fan asked if the resemblance to Romero in the second half would mean getting cut from the UFC. @SMH404 wrote: "which part, the one where he gets cut from the UFC? cause you got no grappling no chin no cardio and skinny weak legs so not sure what exactly you’re gonna try to replicate lol" ً@SMH404@TheNotoriousMMA @YoelRomeroMMA which part, the one where he gets cut from the UFC? cause you got no grappling no chin no cardio and skinny weak legs so not sure what exactly you’re gonna try to replicate lol2@TheNotoriousMMA @YoelRomeroMMA which part, the one where he gets cut from the UFC? cause you got no grappling no chin no cardio and skinny weak legs so not sure what exactly you’re gonna try to replicate lol Tom@tomisacasual@TheNotoriousMMA @YoelRomeroMMA Need a chin for that mate72@TheNotoriousMMA @YoelRomeroMMA Need a chin for that mate Malcolm@moMalcs@TheNotoriousMMA @YoelRomeroMMA The second half of your career?!

The former UFC double champ is currently on a two-fight skid and has gone 1-3 in his last four. McGregor is currently vacationing in Europe on his Lamborghini superyacht with his base in Majorca, Spain. While the Irishman shares training clips at regular intervals, fans are concerned about his festive lifestyle. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post While McGregor is yet to provide a potential timeline for his return, the Dubliner has no dearth of opponents calling him out. The 34-year-old is also making his Hollywood debut in the remake of the 80's classic, Road House, which has raised further doubts about his UFC return. While McGregor's spokesperson insists that the Irishman's top focus in fighting, 'The Notorious' recently revealed that his broken leg has not fully recovered yet.
