Conor McGregor Teases UFC Return with Dana White Message

Conor
McGregor is teasing an
Ultimate Fighting Championship return for the umpteenth
time.

McGregor (22-6) seemingly hasn’t given up on his UFC career. UFC
CEO Dana White recently made a string of fight announcements that
have McGregor excited. Islam
Makhachev vacated the lightweight title and moved up to
welterweight to challenge Jack
Della Maddalena. Meanwhile, Ilia
Topuria and Charles
Oliveira will fight for the vacant 155-pound strap at UFC 317
on June 28.

Reacting to these announcements, McGregor teased a return, hinting
at returning to the drug testing pool.

“Call that big bu** nurse,” McGregor wrote on his Instagram story. “Wow
real exciting times ahead again in the UFC. Let’s get this show
started @ufc.”

McGregor shares an infamous rivalry with Makhachev’s teammate and
former lightweight champ Khabib
Nurmagomedov. The Irishman’s career hasn’t seen much success
since a failed title bid against “The Eagle” in 2018. McGregor
bounced back with a knockout of Donald
Cerrone at welterweight. But he has since suffered consecutive
stoppage losses against Dustin
Poirier, the last of which left him with a broken leg in 2021.
While McGregor recovered from the injury within a year, he hasn’t
been able to make the return that he has been teasing since. After
starring opposite Michael
Chandler as coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 31, the
two were matched up at UFC 303 last year before “Notorious” pulled
out due to an injury.
