The return of Conor McGregor has been the topic of discussion for the MMA world. The Irishman was last seen inside the octagon back in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier.
During the fight, McGregor suffered a nasty leg injury which set him out. However, he recovered from his injury last year and was billed to take on Michael Chandler. But the Irishman failed to enter the USADA testing pool on time for a fight in 2023.
As a result, it was suggested that Conor McGregor will return early in 2024. However, his return was further delayed because of his commitments with his recently released movie, Road House. Moreover, he has also been busy building his brands such as the Forged Irish Stout and Black Forge Inn.
That said, fans have something to be happy about. McGregor is set to finally return to the octagon later this year. It has officially been confirmed by the UFC that McGregor will be making his return this summer.
