However, veteran MMA journalist Ariel Helwani recently revealed a date on which ‘The Notorious’ could make his return to the octagon.

On his show. Helwani said, “It doesn’t look like he’ll be back in 2022. So now, here you have a guy who hasn’t fought since (July) of last year. The last I heard, by the way, is that Conor might come back in February, March or something like that”

Helwani also mentioned that ‘The Notorious’ did not want to rush his return to the octagon. The veteran journalist said, “What if Conor comes back, stumbles, and gets hurt again? There are a million different things that could happen.”

There’s no guarantee he’ll be back tomorrow, next month, the month after that, and the last I heard, it was early 2023. There is no rush here, as there should be no rush because he is coming back from such a scary and serious injury.
