When Will Conor McGregor Return To UFC Action?
With McGregor seemingly involved in Irish politics now and relations with President Donald Trump and The White House, this begs the question of when MMA fans might see the 35-year-old back inside the octagon.
UFC President Dana White has previously stated his confidence that ‘Notorious’ will indeed fight again, but those thoughts aren’t exactly shared by the rest of the MMA community.
The majority of fans feel that the former UFC Featherweight & Lightweight Champion may never compete inside the octagon ever again. However, stranger things have happened.
Michael Chandler and some other names having been mentioned before. It remains to be seen who McGregor will fight if indeed he does return to UFC action.
The best UFC betting sites will likely list McGregor as an underdog on his return to MMA action. That is of course unless he fights someone well below his level. Time will tell what happens regarding McGregor’s potential return.
