Conor McGregor has not played for the UFC since July 10, 2021 and Notorious does not hide his desire to resume his MMA career; check out
McGregor may be getting closer and closer to returning to UFC. At the age of 34, the fighter does not hide the anxiety of getting back to doing what he likes the most. The Irishman hasn’t entered an octagon since 2021, when he ended up being defeated by Dustin Poirier. It is important to highlight that until the serious injury he had, “The Notorious” was not going through a great phase in his career.
Of the last four fights he had, he won only one and it was against Donald Cerrone, on January 18, 2020. That is, it’s been three years without getting a victory in the UFC. During that period, he was not only defeated by Dustin Poirier, but also racked up a negative result against Khabib Nurmagomedov. But that bad moment seems to be in the past for Notorious.

In an interview with the “Daily Mirror”, Conor McGregor opened the game about his possible return to the UFC octagons. The expectation is that 2023 will be the year of his return, since Jon Jones, who was also stopped, already has a fight scheduled and will be for the heavyweight belt, against Ciryl Gane. Still without knowing the date of his next fight, he revealed that he is in a great physical and technical phase.
“I’m looking forward to it. I feel good, I feel energetic, I feel ready. I’m throwing my high kicks faster than I’m throwing my jabs so I’m really excited to be back”, said the fighter who still does not have a return date and also a fight scheduled for the sequel to the 2023 UFC season.
In his entire career as a fighter, Conor McGregor has 28 fights on his card, with 19 wins by knockout, one submission and won two fights by decision of the judges. Meanwhile, in the six defeats he had in his victorious career, he was submitted in four opportunities and the rest ended up being by knockouts.
