Although he hasn’t been in the best form of his career losing 3 of his last 4 fights, he is still very motivated to come back. McGregor recently posted a video of him training on his yacht while also promoting his whiskey, Proper 12.

Will Conor McGregor ever return?

The decision to come back to fighting depends entirely upon McGregor. Not to mention, McGregor has amassed a fortune already and can easily remain a multimillionaire, even if he decided to never step back into the octagon. The brutal nature of the sport also needs to be taken into consideration while making this decision.

He hasn’t fought in over a year and many think that a cushion fight might not excite him to make a return. Moreover, the lightweight division is currently flooded with talent that he might find tough to match.

He has also stated that his leg injury against Poirier hasn’t fully recovered yet. However, he could decide to come back to boxing and fight in an exhibition bout if he gets a good opponent or could even have one last run in the UFC.
