Conor McGregor has been out of the Octagon for almost three years. He has been posting about his return for these three years, but that has not happened yet. As a result of his not doing what he says, his fans are also upset, and they no longer take his words seriously. With the rise and fall of Conor McGregor’s career, it seems even more challenging to expect him to fight Michael Chandler this year. In McGregor’s latest Instagram stories, he posted training videos as usual, but this time using a rather unique hashtag, #FreeTheMac.
Hint to Quit UFC
Due to this post, Conor McGregor has made many people argue that he might be seeking to retire from UFC as he is asking Dana to finish his UFC contract. The original targeted fight between the Irish fighter and Chandler, which was set to happen for the second time after the previous failed date at UFC 310 in Las Vegas this December, will likely be the second to last bout on the man’s current UFC contract. Scheduling a title fight could raise doubts about McGregor vs. Chandler happening at the event since a title fight hasn’t been on the same card as a McGregor match since UFC 196 in 2016.
Announcement from Dana White
Conor McGregor: A little over a week ago, UFC CEO Dana White said in front of the media that McGregor would not fight in 2024. Posting on his X account, the Notorious replied to the statement of Dana White on his X account and wanted fans to ask white to make McGregor vs Chandler for the December fight, which he later deleted. The two fighters were expected to clash after both served as coaches of The Ultimate Fighter season 31 last year, though no fight was scheduled for the rest of 2023.
Dana White eventually took action to have it happen after UFC 300 with a beefed-up event—UFC 303, which took place in June. However, a press conference that was supposed to have taken place in Dublin the day before was surprisingly called off. The reason for his not fighting anymore was the revelation that McGregor had a toe injury, and because of that, he was trolled a lot by fans and the fighters.
Final Thoughts
If Conor McGregor continues to post such statements, then it will be impossible for Conor vs. Chandler to happen. Conor is looking forward to focusing on his businesses, which he has built up through the years of his break from UFC. His businesses have reached millions of worth in these past years. So, the return of Conor McGregor seems impossible. What are your thoughts on Conor McGregor vs. Chandler? Let us know in the comment section.
