“Nevermind guys… I think it’s time I finally admit the fight is off,” said Michael Chandler when he finally admitted that the probability of fighting Conor McGregor looks slim to him. The former dual weight champion was supposed to face Chandler on June 29t at UFC 303 but a pinkie toe injury derailed ‘Notorious’s aspirations to make a comeback to the Octagon. After the commotion, Dana White said he would not talk about McGregor’s return until he gets better. Interestingly, a new video shows that McGregor’s toe appears to have healed, however, now, his comeback remains more uncertain!

After months of waiting,͏ C͏onor M͏cGregor ͏took to his Instagram͏ handle to u͏pload a vid͏eo of hi͏mse͏lf running on the streets. It seemed like McGregor͏’s toe i͏njury has finally healed, and͏ he ͏might be able͏ to͏ make͏ a comeback. However, according to the MMA community, there’s a huge indication in his running video that he might not fight again. What’s that? Well, according to the fans, McGregor looked slow and was gassed out after running a few meters.

Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler’s return timeline is yet to be ascertained, however, rumors suggest that the lightweight stars are going to finally meet each other in December. Well, the December date appears to be logical for the promotion as it would be a good conclusion for the UFC’s dramatic story of 2024.

Interestingly, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who also is one of the insiders, believes that it’s better for McGregor to stay out of the Octagon. “What’s to say he will ever be the same fighter again? Him competing against Dustin Poirier when the leg snapped might be the last time ever Conor McGregor stepped foot inside the Octagon,” said Bisping. Well, after the new running video, fans are been more pessimistic about ‘Mystic Mac’s return.

Netizens believe they won’t get to see the ‘Notorious’ ever again

There was once a time when Conor McGregor was known for his cardio as it followed the crucial Anaerobic System of Training, overseen by sports scientist Julian Dalby. It helped him in boxing as well as in MMA; however, as time went by, it became clear that McGregor has yet to recover from his shin injury, which is severely hampering his cardi0. A curious fan highlighted that to McGregor: “He gassed out at the end of the road.” Furthermore, another fan stated the same thing, “100m ran out of gas. Filming then stops.”

Michael Bisping is not the only one who believes that McGregor might not fight again inside the Octagon as even Dana White is uncertain about McGregor’s return, “Maybe he’ll fight again, maybe he won’t. You never know with some of the guys that get to that level. You never know when you’re going to see them again,” said Dana White. Well, even the community is thinking the same, “Man is never fighting again.” Well, more fans are optimistic about Conor McGregor’s return to the game, “yeah he ain’t fighting again.”

A social media user even had a new game in his mind, “New drinking game.. take a shot for every time someone says “yeah he ain’t fighting again” Last but not least, another social media user emphasized that Conor McGregor looked stiff in his new training montage, “U look slow n stiff mate.”

McGregor’s return is yet to be ascertained by the promotion. Regardless, what’s your take on the hubbub? State your thoughts in the comments below.
