Conor McGregor hasn’t fought inside the octagon since July 2021. That’s over four years of inactivity for the sport’s biggest star. The Irishman broke his leg against Dustin Poirier in that bout and his recovery and rehabilitation took longer than anyone expected initially. McGregor was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 last year. But another injury forced him to pull out of that fight too.<\/p>
Now McGregor keeps teasing a return on social media constantly. He recently expressed interest in fighting at the massive UFC<\/a> White House event. It would be a historic occasion for mixed martial arts in America and McGregor believes he should be part of that spectacle. But not everyone shares his optimism about making a comeback, Islam Makhachev being one of them. <\/p> Makhachev spoke with Complex<\/strong> recently about several topics including McGregor’s future. The lightweight champion didn’t mince words about the ‘Notorious’. He flat out stated that McGregor (22-6<\/a>) will never fight again. His reasoning goes back to the infamous Khabib Nurmagomedov rivalry from 2018.<\/p> “No, this guy is never coming back. Khabib broke his mind, you know.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Islam Makhachev Gives His Take On Conor McGregor’s Return<\/h2>
