Ex-UFC Star Drops A Major Truth Bomb On Conor McGregor’s Potential Next Promotion Amid His UFC Return Struggles

Conor McGregor has been longing to return to the UFC. After getting his ankle broken, the Irishman has been out of action for almost three years now. With his UFC return repeatedly getting delayed, ‘Mystic Mac’ has been rumored to join rival promotions. And while nothing has been finalized as of now, according to a former UFC star, the possibilities of the same are quite unlikely. 

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chael Sonnen has explored the possibilities of McGregor joining any other promotion. “We’re talking about Conor McGregor here, and first off just so you understand there is no other promotion, so you fully understand, that doesn’t mean that you won’t get a promoter to come forward and say that I would…. They don’t even know how much Conor McGregor is being paid,” Sonnen said. 

Surely, affording McGregor might not be a viable option for any other promotion. However, as of now, his return to the UFC octagon is also shrouded in mystery. Meanwhile, Michael Chandler still seems to be interested in the possibility of a Conor McGregor bout. 

Michael Chandler Re-ignites Conor McGregor Feud

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler have been feuding for a long time. Unfortunately for Chandler, despite keeping himself in peak physical condition, ‘Iron’ had to wait for almost a year for McGregor. This is because after their TUF 31 finale clash was canceled, UFC 303 was confirmed as the return of the Irishman. However, when McGregor failed to turn up, Chandler was allotted a match against Charles Oliveira.

And while this was the supposed end of the feud, Chandler still seems to be holding onto the rivalry. Replying to one of McGregor’s X posts, ‘Iron’ wrote, “Ring, cage, mat, canvas whatever you want to call it. All you have to do is step up @TheNotoriousMMA.” However, the fans did not seem invested anymore in the match and rebuked Chandler significantly. Thus, with the Irishman’s return looking gloomy, it remains to be seen how things pan out in the future.
