Although MMA enthusiasts around the world are eagerly hoping to witness the return of Conor McGregor to the octagon this year, the question remains whether it will be as triumphant as every other fight fan desires. Numerous obstacles have jeopardized the Irishman’s grand comeback, some stemming from his own shenanigans and others thanks to USADA. However, there has been a recent delightful update from the anti-doping agency, as they announced that ‘The Notorious’ may soon enter the testing pool, turning the wait into positive hopes of an octagon return.

However, former UFC flyweight champion and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo has placed his doubts about McGregor’s return. Like two titans clashing, McGregor and ‘Triple C’ engaged in a verbal war following the latter’s recent defeat against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288.

Now, shifting the focus back to McGregor, he has made his case known, discussing the rumored Canelo Alvarez fight that he called out for. Moreover, Cejudo also placed his questions on whether he still possesses the competitive spirit to take on Michael Chandler later this year.

Henry Cejudo predicts the Conor McGregor vs. Canelo Alvarez outcome

Henry Cejudo took to his Instagram to share his thoughts on the Irishman’s highly anticipated return, infusing his commentary with being responsive to the Irishman’s mockery. Shedding light on Conor McGregor’s potential to make a lasting impact upon his comeback, ‘Triple C’ also provided his prediction if the hypothetical match with Canelo Alvarez were to materialize.

His caption read, “I can give it, but I can also take it @thenotoriousmma 😂😂😂 I wish people picked on me a little more! This is an important time in McGregor’s career. How seriously is he taking Michael Chandler? Is he willing to step inside the squared circle with Canelo Alvarez? Is he taking the fight game seriously, or is this all ego? Soon, we’ll find out, but right now McGregor is all talk. He needs to put the work in ASAP, or he’s in trouble.”

Does ‘The Notorious’ still got that fire in him?

Like a detective investigating a mystery, the bantamweight star analyzed McGregor’s mindset, wondering if the fire that once burned within him still remained or if it had waned over time.

“I still know that he does have that chip on his shoulder and he still wants to compete at the highest level. But is it still in him biomechanically? His mind may want to. But is his body still willing to give that push?”, questioned the 36-year-old Cejudo.
