Conor McGregor is living his best life by smoking, drinking cocktails, and continuing his 30th birthday celebrations for many days after.
McGregor turned 32 on July 14 and has been enjoying his vacation in the South of France with his partner Dee Devlin and their two children – Conor Jack Jr., 2, and baby girl, Croia, who is 10 months old.
The former two-weight UFC champion, who announced a shock and abrupt retirement from fighting in a social media post last month, has been documenting the holiday time on Instagram.
He has posted photographs and video of himself in an open shirt, drinking, and smoking.
In one post, he appeared to tease a comeback to the fight game by saying: "Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Yous know the drill, stay ready."

More recently, the UFC president Dana White told Fox Sports that he expects McGregor to return in 2021.
"He's at that point in his career where he's got a few fights left," White said.
