Conor McGregor is all fired up ahead of his highly anticipated comeback. Fight fans around the world have been waiting impatiently for his return, which has been painfully delayed. However, the realization of this long-awaited comeback is now in jeopardy due to McGregor’s recent tussle with USADA and his other external shenanigans. These incidents have left fans worried about the potentiality of the fight happening this year.

Nevertheless, despite all the uncertainties surrounding his return, ‘The Notorious’ remains determined to dominate in the octagon once again. Recently, he boldly stated his intention to claim the UFC record for the most knockouts. This record is tied between Matt Brown and Derrick Lewis, who have 13 KOs each in their resume. And McGregor aims to surpass them and make it his own.

However, retired UFC fighter Ben Askren couldn’t resist casting doubt on McGregor’s pursuit of this record. With a rather snide remark, Askren questioned whether McGregor’s boastful claims would come to fruition.

Ben Askren recently took to his Twitter to respond to Conor McGregor’s tweet, in which the Irishman declared his ambition to achieve a notable feat in the UFC. The former Bellator and ONE Welterweight Champion decided to taunt McGregor over this claim, making a remark on his inactivity and casting doubt on his ability to follow through on his words.

“Lol you don’t show up for work often enough.”, wrote the 38-year-old.
