Fans go wild after ‘ El Matador’ calls out ‘ The Notorious’ One

Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the UFC and a former two-division champion. The 35-year-old achieved one of the rarest feats when he defeated Jose Aldo in thirteen seconds for the featherweight title. He then moved up to the lightweight division and defeated Eddie Alvarez for the title, making him a two-division champion. The 35-year-old has now received a challenge from the new featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. The Spaniard showed his willingness to fight the Dublin-born and the fans have shared their feelings about it. Let us take a look at some comments below.

One user pointed out how every fighter calls out McGregor still:

” Every UFC card with a Conor McGregor call out”

Another user feels McGregor is still the biggest star of the UFC :

“Everyone calling out Conor proves that he is the superstar of the ufc”

One user warned Topuria about McGregor and commented:

 “Don’t joke with McGregor”

One fan seemed to be confident about the fight not happening and commented:

“McGregor will never come down to Featherweight”

Another user seems supremely confident of Topuria’s skills and commented:

 “He would SMOKE Conor.”

While one user seemed very confident about McGregor’s skills and commented:

“Conor will easily find that chin”

One user seemed to be sure about McGregor not taking the fight

 “I don’t think it’s physically possible for Conor to make 145”

While the fans have shared their opinion on the whole, it will be interesting to see whether the fight happens in the future. However, the biggest cause of concern is when will the former two-division champion finally make a comeback in the Octagon. His absence from the Octagon has raised a lot of questions regarding his form and ability. While many believe he is still the same, Luke Thomas does not agree with it.

Luke Thomas claims McGregor’s prime is gone for real

Conor McGregor was last seen inside the Octagon at UFC 264, where he took on Dustin Poirier for his trilogy fight. The 35-year-old lost the fight via doctor stoppage and suffered a horrendous leg injury. Since then McGregor is yet to feature in any fight and is facing the biggest gap of his career. UFC CEO Dana White recently appeared on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ and was asked about a possible date for his return. White did not seem confident about the date and replied: “Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall. Hopefully, we get it done in the fall,”.

With no official date yet for his return Luke Thomas recently took to his YouTube to share his opinion on the whole. Thomas feels McGregor has passed his prime and gave his own reasons for his claims. He said: “Well, UFC president Dana White went on the Pat McAfee show this week and he was asked by Pat. ‘Hey, when is Conor coming back, and is he going to fight Michael Chandler?’ How old is Conor McGregor without looking it up? How old is he? The answer is 35. 35 years of age and in July he’ll be 36 years of age.”

With age catching up on McGregor and the UFC delaying his return, will we see the same McGregor again? Let us know in the comments below.
