McGregor has previously fought against Holloway, Aldo, and Diaz. He won the bouts against Holloway and Aldo. With Diaz, he lost their first match but won their second bout. Thus, McGregor’s claims might not be too far from the truth. However, he has lost twice against Dustin Poirier.

McGregor plans to start fighting again soon, and his fans are excited to see him in action once again. It would be interesting to see what changes and novelty he brings to his game.
