However, in recent years, McGregor’s performances have been a disappointment. He has not been able to reach the heights of his former glory. What’s more, significant losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier have raised questions about his legacy.

However, he also expressed doubt that his return will take place in 2023. Felder suggests that while McGregor’s star power is undeniable, it is uncertain if he will be able to make a comeback in the near future.

He said, “I think he’ll always matter, as long as he’s at least teasing the idea of a return but that’s what worries me. He’s so busy. He’s filming Road House and all that kind of stuff. I don’t know if that is over or not. It’s tough.”

“I don’t mean this in any disrespect but I do think the division is just passing him by badly,” he further added.
