Former UFC fighter Conor McGregor claimed over the weekend that he had a life-changing vision of the Trinity, the Virgin Mary and the archangels while undergoing trauma treatment with the psychoactive drug ibogaine in Mexico.
The 37-year-old former UFC featherweight, who revealed earlier this year that he has been on a “spiritual journey” that has compelled him to live a “life by God’s Word,” explained in an X post on Sunday that he traveled to Tijuana last week at the behest of doctors at Stanford University to partake of ibogaine treatment at AMBIO.
Clinics associated with AMBIO are dedicated to using the African plant to treat addiction, traumatic brain injury and other issues, according to its website.
McGregor, who has experienced traumatic brain injuries, claimed that during his time on the drug, he was given supernatural visions of his own death and the heavenly realm.
Hey guys, I am back. ??
I was blessed to meet the most forward thinking doctors from Stanford University and undergo a series of treatments to address trauma.
I travelled to Tijuana Mexico and underwent Ibogaine treatment at AMBIO.

“It was incredible, intense, and absolutely eye opening,” McGregor wrote. “I was shown what would have been my death. How soon it was to be, and how it would have impacted my children. I was looking down on myself as it happened, and then I was looking out from the coffin.”
“God then came to me in the Holy Trinity. He is MIGHTY!” he continued. “Jesus, his child. Mary, his Mother. The Archangels. All present in heaven. I was shown the light.
Jesus descended from the white marble steps of heaven and anointed me with a crown.
I was saved! My brain. My heart. My soul. Healed!”
McGregor maintained that the experience, which he described as “enchanting,” lingered for 36 hours before he came back to his normal state of consciousness. He went on to advocate and thank God for the ibogaine treatment, which remains illegal in the United States.
“This treatment is worth its weight in GOLD! It is very, very tough, but it absolutely saved my life, and in turn saved my family,” he said.
McGregor approvingly retweeted an X post Monday that showed footage of W. Bryan Hubbard, the CEO of Americans for Ibogaine, claiming that “many individuals who have an ibogaine experience come away with a concrete affirmation and knowledge that they are a spiritual being made in the image of an almighty Creator whose essence is pure and unconditional love for them.”
Hubbard also warned that ibogaine poses potential cardiac risks if not administered properly.
Stanford researchers have found that ibogaine has safely led to improvements in depression, anxiety and functioning among veterans with traumatic brain injuries, though the plant remains a Schedule I controlled substance in the U.S., which means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved it for any medical use and claims it has a high potential for abuse.
McGregor, who has not fought in the UFC since he broke his ankle during a rematch with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, has expressed interest in returning to competition during the UFC’s planned White House card on June 14, 2026, part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.
