The legacy of Conor McGregor within the MMA world is undeniably legendary, marked by extraordinary achievements and a trailblazing impact. Yet, his recent series of twists and turns in statements has left fans both puzzled and disheartened. McGregor’s return to the spotlight has been overshadowed by tweet feuds with fellow fighters. Additionally, an abrupt shift in his fight plans has stirred mixed reactions within the MMA community.

In a surprising revelation made a few days back, McGregor claimed that the UFC is disinterested in setting up a bout between him and Michael Chandler. However, just as the dust began to settle, McGregor pivoted once again.

Conor McGregor and his fluctuating promises

The fighter recently announced his intentions for upcoming fights. He plans to lock horns with Chandler in December, followed by an impending clash with Justin Gaethje for the coveted BMF title, concluding it with a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz.

This has resulted in resounding reactions from fans that are one of skepticism and frustration. Many are finding it increasingly difficult to place trust in McGregor’s words, as one fan succinctly put it, “Can’t believe a f***in word he says anymore.” The sentiment reflects the view that the Irishman’s recent statements appear to be turning towards uncertainty and inconsistency.

Notably, there is a pervasive skepticism about McGregor’s timetable, with doubts over whether he can realistically execute his plans. Some fans in their reactions highlighted the recurring theme of McGregor’s frequently shifting aspirations.

Also, Conor McGregor has outlined his intentions to step into the Octagon come December. However, neither he nor the UFC has made an official announcement regarding his inclusion in the USADA testing pool. The stringent USADA regulations mandate athletes undergo testing for a minimum of six months before engaging in competition. Given this criterion, the feasibility of his expected bout with Chandler in December is cast into doubt.

A rollercoaster of fan reactions

Some fans took a more satirical route, pressing, “He had another 3 fight plan before Dustin f***ed his UFC career” button, suggesting a pattern of glorious plans that often get derailed.

Others have minced no words, predicting dire outcomes for McGregor in his proposed matchups. “Gaethje will hurt him badly,” a fan stated, while another commented, “Wants to lose three fights in a row.” The skepticism towards McGregor’s strategy is undeniable, with many questioning his current mindset and readiness to step back into the octagon.

Here are a few fans’ reactions:

• Yeah whatever. Dude has a better chance at an overdose than fighting.
• man i love Conor but he aint coming back
• Wants to lose three fights in a row
• And this how we know it’s a lie cuz man ain’t gonna be cleared by December 🤣🤣
• Can’t take anything he says seriously until he is in the testing pool 🤷
• This is his 100th time making a plan for the next 3 fights 😂

The MMA community’s sentiments collectively underline a desire for clarity, consistency, and true commitment from the iconic fighter. Until McGregor takes concrete steps to manifest his intentions and regain the trust of his fans, the aura of uncertainty surrounding his next moves will remain intact.
