Conor McGregor continues to tease fans about a comeback, responding playfully to retirement suggestions while having no confirmed fight plans, with UFC CEO Dana White anticipating his return in 2025.
Conor McGregor just loves to keep fans guessing about his comeback. Always a bit of a mystery, isn’t he?
On social media, someone suggested that with all his money and fame, he doesn’t need to fight anymore. McGregor’s cheeky reply? “Ya know what, you’re right, good bye.” Classic Conor.
If you’ve followed his career, this isn’t shocking. He’s hinted at retirement before—more than once. And then, surprise! He backtracks (sometimes even deletes the comment). As of now, the 36-year-old hasn’t fought since UFC 264 in July 2021. Remember that match? The one where he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.
Post-injury, McGregor took some time off. He even coached on The Ultimate Fighter against Michael Chandler. They were supposed to clash at UFC 303 last June. But guess what? Conor pulled out due to injury again. Now Chandler’s moved on to face Charles Oliveira at UFC 309.
And here’s a twist: McGregor’s got eyes on BKFC—bare-knuckle boxing! He’s part owner there. Who saw that coming?
No set date for his next fight yet. Dana White thinks maybe 2025 for “The Notorious.” But who really knows with Conor?
