Conor McGregor knows a thing or two about comebacks. He’s had his fair share of setbacks in the octagon. Remember the Khabib Nurmagomedov fight? Or the Nate Diaz fight? But he’s always managed to bounce back, at least in terms of popularity and paydays.
The Irish MMA superstar has some words of wisdom for Anthony Joshua after his shocking loss to Daniel Dubois. In a recent interview, McGregor didn’t mince words. He declared that one loss did not define what ‘AJ’ was and urged him to continue.
“AJ is number one… he’s a legend forever…It’s only boxing. You get caught, you catch someone. Of course he can come back!” said McGregor via The Stomping Ground YT.
Conor McGregor himself is on the cusp of coming back. After being away from the Octagon for over three years, he is planning to make a comeback soon. His last fight ended in a loss to Dustin Poirier. But he still is willing to come back and take what he believes is his.
McGregor’s pep talk isn’t just about Anthony Joshua, though. It’s a window into the fighter’s mentality. They feel the pain of defeat just like anyone else. Maybe even more so. But these guys don’t just shrug off losses. They use them as fuel!

Dana White’s been spilling the beans in Dublin of all places. That’s right, he is in McGregor’s backyard, promoting a boxing event. White told the media that he and McGregor had been chatting about it. Apparently, the Irish firebrand hit him up when he heard Dana was in town.
“Whenever Conor is ready, and he comes back. He hit me up last night when he heard that I was here, and he’s in New York right now, and he is training,” said White.
But Dana White is keeping his cards close to his chest. He won’t name an opponent just yet. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor has been busy. He is back in training, throwing hands in New York City. He even shared some sparring footage recently on his Instagram handle. But here’s the million-dollar question: When will fans see ‘The Notorious’ back in action?
