Former UFC 2-division champion Conor McGregor hasn’t fought anyone for over a year. His last fight was in July 2021, where he lost to UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier. However, The Notorious One has been dropping hints to get back into the octagon for one last run.

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.
However, former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch didn’t seem too impressed by McGregor’s skills and mocked his video.

“Couldn’t punch the skin off a rice pudding! ” Froch wrote, replying to McGregor’s video. This might have been an attempt by the former champ to get under the skin of McGregor, who is calling out almost everyone for a fight.

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.
