McGregor’s Long-Awaited Return

After three years of anticipation, fans were set to see Conor McGregor return at UFC 303. However, McGregor pulled out of the fight due to a toe injury, which raised doubts about his ability to successfully make a comeback.

Despite this setback, McGregor has assured fans and fighters alike that he is in top form. He mentioned that he had spoken with UFC CEO Dana White and is hopeful for a fight before the end of 2024.

Belal Muhammad’s Response

Belal Muhammad, known as “Remember the Name,” quickly criticized McGregor for his prolonged absence and previous trolling. Muhammad, who recently secured a top position in the P4P rankings after his win at UFC 304, was not impressed by McGregor’s claim of improved skills. He responded with laughing emojis, suggesting that McGregor would likely pull out of any fight due to minor injuries, casting doubt on McGregor’s commitment and readiness.

Future Plans and Rumors

After Belal Muhammad’s latest win, McGregor remained silent. In response to a tweet by Michael Chandler, McGregor revealed that he had discussions with Dana White and hopes to fight before the year ends. McGregor’s return is rumored to be slated for the end of 2024, with a possible bout at the final UFC PPV of the year in Las Vegas, which currently has no main event set.

Beyond his return, McGregor has ambitious plans. He recently became a co-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and aims to compete there as well. Additionally, with only two fights left on his UFC contract, McGregor might explore independent ventures in the near future.

Conclusion

Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the UFC continues to generate both excitement and skepticism. While McGregor asserts his improved skills, critics like Belal Muhammad remain unconvinced. The upcoming months will be crucial in determining whether McGregor can truly make a successful comeback and silence his doubters.
