Conor
McGregor’s manager claims fans will see more of “Notorious” in
the near future.
McGregor (22-6) is scheduled to return to action in a welterweight
matchup against Max
Holloway (27-9) at UFC 329
on July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This will mark
McGregor’s return to action for the first time since breaking his
leg in a trilogy loss against Dustin
Poirier in 2021. According to Audie Attar, McGregor plans to
stay active after his return this summer. Attar claims the former
UFC double-champion plans to fight again within a year. However,
Attar also clarifies that they are not looking too far ahead.
One Step at a Time
“He is definitely looking to stay active,” Attar told MMAjunkie.com. “Next fight, we’re not gonna
wait a year, that’s for sure. We’ll see what happens from there. I
don’t think we’re looking too far ahead at things. We’re just
taking it one step at a time.”
While McGregor recovered from his leg injury within a year, he did
not return to serious training immediately. McGregor eventually
started teasing a return against Michael
Chandler, who has wasted crucial years of his prime waiting for
that matchup. McGregor was even booked to fight Chandler at UFC 303
in 2024, only to pull out due to an injury. Fans remain skeptical
about the Irishman’s return against Holloway until the Octagon
doors are closed.
