Is Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon on the horizon?
The question hangs heavy in the air as rumors swirl around Conor McGregor’s future in mixed martial arts.
Four years have passed since the Irishman last graced the octagon, leaving fans eager for his return but uncertain if it will ever materialize. A recent legal battle cast a shadow over his reputation, raising questions about whether he even wants to step back into the cage.

His opponent then went on to win the entire show convincingly after being down on the scorecards and on his way to defeat against Lee. Lee is the first fighter in MMA to hit a berimbolo in professional MMA and is an incredibly fast pace attacking jiu jitsu and striking fighter.”
“I have been training with Lee since he was a young teen and I was in my early twenties,” McGregor reminisced. “I used to open John’s gym on a Sunday, on my own, and word got around the gym that I would do this, and Lee and his friend would be the only other two to show up. I would spar them back to back for hours. We still show up today. Training is going great out here guys, hoping for some good news to break, God willing! Thank you for the support,”
