Conor McGregor‘s comeback to the UFC is one of the hot topics in the MMA world. It was decided that the Irishman would fight against Michael Chandler after the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter. However, the MMA community began to raise their eyebrows as ‘The Notorious’ failed to enter the USADA testing pool. Even now, the Irishman has not met the demands of the USADA. However, McGregor has assured that he will be back in the UFC octagon in December.

Recently, ‘Mystic Mac’ made sure that he was present at the O2 Arena in London for the boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius. Soon after the match ended, McGregor talked to the media about his much-awaited UFC return. During the chat, the former UFC double champion revealed that he would be fighting against Michael Chandler in December. Even after ‘The Notorious’ gave assurances about his UFC return, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is still doubtful about the prospect. Let’s dive deeper to find out Eddie Hearn’s take.

Eddie Hearn is not sure about the comeback of Conor McGregor

Recently, Eddie Hearn sat down with MMA Hour’s Ariel Helwani. During the chat, he expressed the uncertainties regarding the McGregor’s comeback. He said, “He’s just wild. You got past sitting there Conor you know. I don’t know what he’s going to do. I mean, you know he keeps saying he’s fighting in December. Is that even possible?” From the words of Hearn, it’s clear that, like the majority, even he is doubtful about the Irishman’s comeback.

Even after being a friend of McGregor, the boxing promoter was not ready to swallow his words. However, McGregor’s assurance about coming back would be a huge relief to the UFC president, Dana White. ‘Mystic Mac’ has now made it clear that he will comeback as per White’s plan to fight Chandler.
