The fighting community wants just one thing from Conor McGregor. And that’s to watch him fight just a little bit more in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. However, the former UFC double champion has given nothing but disappointment to the fighting realm. And his recent inclinations towards the Irish Presidency have put him further away from making a return. During the BKFC 70 press conference, ‘The Notorious’ confirmed that he had two negotiations in progress. And his words leaned heavily towards the fact that he wasn’t really coming back.

He said, “My heart bleeds for my country right now, so there’s a lot going on back home. I’m happy with what I have done, you know. There’s something else in my gut right now. And that’s kind of the way I’m going.” But things might just turn around as McGregor drops an Instagram post raising the rumors of his return. 

It’s true that ‘Mystic Mac’ wants his return to be epic. Emphasizing his UFC return during the press conference, he claimed that greatness doesn’t rush. This was proof enough for the fighting world to believe that the Irishman’s return wasn’t happening anytime soon. Nevertheless, the hope to watch the former champ champ make a comeback still shone bright when McGregor said, “My comeback is slated as the greatest and most anticipated comeback of all time, so it has to be right.” And now, ‘The Notorious’ has teased the fighting community with the perfect hint. 

Well, taking to Instagram, ‘Mystic Mac’ shared a picture from his training, which showed his muscular back as he was about to enter the canvas for some practice. The Instagram post was made by Billionaire MMA, one of McGregor’s fan pages, and the Irishman simply accepted the collaboration request. There were no captions, no words. Just his strong back getting ready for some action. Or was it?

No doubt, fight fans wasted no time in rushing to the comments section with their thoughts. And they all had one thing in common. All of them pointed at the possible return of ‘The Notorious’. Let’s see what the fighting community had to say. 

Fight fans still doubt Conor McGregor’s comeback

The entire world has been waiting for McGregor’s comeback since 2021. UFC 303 witnessed an even greater heartbreak for fight fans as ‘The Notorious’ had to pull out of his bout against Michael Chandler right before the media day. And now, with McGregor dropping hints with social media posts, the fans try their best to protect their feelings. One of the fans commented, “My boy, don’t play with our feelings.” But the doubt around McGregor’s return was still evident. A comment read, “finally the return?” And many answered this question with, “Bros never returning.”

However, there were a few fans who decided to have some fun in the comments section. Judging with the muscle mass that the former UFC champion put up, the fans believed that it was nigh on impossible for him to come back to the featherweight or lightweight division. The fan wrote, “he’ll come back fighting in the heavyweights 😂.” And if it does, needless to say, it’d be the “Biggest comeback🔥🔥🔥” as one fan put it. On top of that, some even believed, “He could still come back and ko chandler”.

And then, there were fans who backed their comments with some research. Well, one of the fans pointed out that McGregor hasn’t been partying lately. He has maintained his shape and stayed consistent with training. So does this really hint at a return? The comment read, “We have seen alot less antics or parting and a lot more being in shape and training. Seems he has taken a different approach as of late, exited to see if he does fight again.”
