Stores all over Ireland and the US have faced shortages of the whiskey, and several have imposed limits on how much a single customer can buy per visit.<\/p>\n<p>Conor McGregor last fought in the main event of UFC 229, when he was defeated by UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The fight was his first since a headline-dominating boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in August of 2017. He had not competed in MMA since November of 2016, when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez to capture the UFC lightweight strap.<\/p>\n<p>While nothing is official with respect to his next fight, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/conor-mcgregor-says-he-will-fight-again-in-2019\/\">he says he plans to fight again in 2019.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Will you be purchasing an empty Proper No. Twelve bottle on eBay, or is your preference for full bottles?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/28\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conor McGregor fans are a passionate bunch.
