‘The Ultimate Fighter’ season 31’s premiere brings us closer to witnessing the hopeful comeback of Conor McGregor. The notorious Irishman has been on the sidelines for quite some time now, but reports suggest that he will make his return to the octagon by the end of this year. However, his shenanigans during his time off have become a cause for concern among the MMA world, who eagerly await his return.

Recently, McGregor’s wild behavior, characterized by constant partying and drinking, has left fans worried about his commitment to the sport. It seems that his recent actions are jeopardizing not only the hopes for his comeback but also the anticipation surrounding it. Recently, even UFC veterans Daniel Cormier and Ben Askren have expressed their disappointment in McGregor’s latest antics.

Is Conor McGregor serious about his comeback?

McGregor’s lack of seriousness about fighting anymore has raised eyebrows, casting doubt on his dedication and focus. Recently, Daniel Cormier and Ben Askren sat down together to discuss the matter, shedding light on their own thoughts regarding ‘The Notorious’.

DC mentioned McGregor’s wild appearance at the Monaco GP and pointed out the concerning question, “When you see videos of Conor at the Monaco GP and he’s dancing, and he’s partying and you’re like, ”Is Conor McGregor getting ready for a fight? Or is Conor McGregor overlooking Michael Chandler?'”

Adding to the conversation, Ben Askren chimed in by highlighting the lack of training videos featuring McGregor. He observed, “When was the last time you seen like a training video of Conor McGregor? Every video I see, he’s partying, he’s dancing, he’s drinking… I don’t know, is this guy taking it seriously anymore?”

Continuing his thoughts, the former Bellator and ONE Welterweight Champion emphasized, “And listen, he’s rich. He can do whatever he wants, apparently. But also, we don’t have to consider him a really elite figher and he needs to prove that to us again.”
