The UFC’s enigmatic superstar, Conor McGregor, has set tongues wagging once again. This time, it’s not with his fists, but with his words. The Irishman posted a cryptic message on social media that left fans scratching their heads.
The Irish star posted a video of him on Instagram training with a heavy bag, throwing furious combinations. But his ominous caption on the same post caught the fans’ attention. This is what he wrote: “#FreeTheMac”
McGregor hasn’t stepped into the octagon since his leg injury in 2021. Fans have been eagerly awaiting his return, but patience is wearing thin. UFC CEO Dana White recently said that McGregor won’t be fighting this year.
Could this be the source of McGregor’s frustration? Is he itching to get back? His career has been a wild ride, full of highs and lows. He’s tasted double-champ glory and faced bitter defeats. Now, at 36, time isn’t exactly on his side. But counting out ‘The Notorious‘? That’s a risky bet.

“I have a bit of business left with the UFC. 2 fights still in my contract… But I’m not up here just as an owner, player-manager,” said McGregor.
The former two-division champion hasn’t graced the octagon since July 2021. A broken leg and a recent toe injury have kept him on the sidelines. He was supposed to face Michael Chandler later this year, but Dana White poured cold water over this notion. At 36, the Irishman might be looking for new challenges. And BKFC, whether as a fighter or as an owner, could offer just that.
