The 35-year-old was last seen inside the Octagon in 2021 and has not returned since. McGregor is currently busy promoting his upcoming Hollywood project, ‘Road House,’ but fans want to know about his return.

The Dubliner recently appeared at TalkSport MMA to discuss his potential comeback. While speaking to the host, Adam Catterall, he seemed a bit disappointed with how UFC CEO Dana White has handled things lately.

He said, “It’s good to see Poirier get that win this weekend that makes this the quadrilogy and then we’ll say the real trilogy the finish of it to put an end to push a finish to it. That is a huge bout right now. So I anticipated that result would go that way and I was happy to see it and that’s a big one for sure. Obviously I’ve got that trilogy that’s what I had said for the sphere you know. There was cold water put on that publicly off the bat and I wasn’t happy with that. I need discussion or conversation because you know if I lose interest, I’m not getting anything back. I just drift off my man, so I hope I can get something in and get dialed in. “
