McGregor’s Comeback Tease Fuels Speculation
Conor McGregor has once again stirred the MMA world with a cryptic post hinting at a return to the UFC. The Irishman, who hasn’t fought since July 2021, took to social media saying, “CALL THAT BIG B–T NURSE… Let’s get this show started,” igniting hope among fans desperate to see him back in action.
Dana White’s Cool Response
However, UFC President Dana White swiftly cooled the excitement. In a brief chat with Adam Glyn, White stated, “He’s not fighting anytime soon. I haven’t talked to him in a minute. Yeah, I don’t know.” His words suggest that McGregor’s comeback is far from confirmed and may still be a long way off.
A 4-Year Layoff Approaches
McGregor, now 36, is nearing four full years of inactivity in the UFC. His last appearance ended in a leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. Despite multiple teases and training clips over the years, nothing has materialized into an actual return to the octagon.
Time Is Running Out
As the clock ticks, many in the MMA community believe time is running out for McGregor to stage one last comeback. While his star power remains unmatched, his fighting prime may be behind him.
What’s Next for the Notorious?
Fans are left wondering if this is just another chapter in the long line of McGregor’s comeback teases. With Dana White remaining non-committal and no confirmed fight on the horizon, the wait for “The Notorious” continues.
Final Word
Whether McGregor returns or not, one thing is clear—he still commands attention with a single post. But without a signed contract or fight date, talk remains just that—talk.
