The return of Conor McGregor remains one of the most anticipated MMA events of 2023. While 2022 is about to draw curtains, the fans missed the Irishman’s presence in the Octagon. Notably, the former UFC champion remains one of the most electrifying athletes to grace the Octagon and he recently responded to Dustin Poirier’s dropping interest in their potential fourth fight.

The UFC star last fought in the Octagon against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. While the noted fighter recorded a loss in his last outing, his stocks still remain high in the MMA world.

What did Conor McGregor say?

The Dublin-born fighter’s recent record might not do justice to his prolific skills. Surprisingly, McGregor has only recorded a solitary win in the last 6 years. That victory came way back against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 in 2020.

The 22-6 record holder took to Twitter and expressed his excitement for his much-awaited return. Further, McGregor vowed to prove his support correct. Also, the Road House star referred to his last Octagon fight at UFC 264.

Thus, he wrote, “Final shot before bracing on the break. All me. Excited to return and prove my support correct! Marathon not a sprint.”
