Recently, Conor McGregor, the first UFC double division champion, had a close call with a life-threatening accident. This incident serves as a reminder of how much of a loss the Irishman would be to the MMA community if he were unable to compete anymore. Despite this, McGregor has his sights set on a return to the octagon in 2023. 

There are rumors that the Irishman will be fighting against Michael Chandler. However, recent reports and statements from ‘The Notorious’ revealed that the UFC has presented the opportunity for him to return to the TUF (The Ultimate Fighter). It remains unclear whom the 34-year-old will face in his comeback fight.

Additionally, Anthony Smith and Michael Bisping have recently discussed Jorge Masvidal as a potential candidate for McGregor in the TUF. The speculation continues to persist as fans eagerly await confirmation of the 34-year-old’s return. Moreover, a recent post by John Kavanagh, McGregor’s coach, has added fuel to the fire of an early return.

Coach Kavanagh hinting McGregor UFC return in May?

John Kavanagh is a well-known figure in the martial arts world. He is an Irish martial arts coach, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and a former professional mixed martial artist. Kavanagh has been coaching Conor McGregor for several years and the two are close friends. Recently, Kavanagh uploaded an Instagram post with McGregor as the duo posed with their kids.

The post caught the attention of fans because, in the comments, Kavanagh shared a cryptic message suggesting the Irishman’s return to the octagon in May. The post was captioned “The boys back up for May“. Although there is no official confirmation, fans are excited about the possibility of McGregor’s return.
