McGregor has not competed in the UFC for a long time, but continues to constantly generate news. A few days ago, he went to the fight between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius and managed to attract the attention of the media. McGregor came surrounded by girls, and after the end of the fight he made several statements, as reported by TalkSport.
He first commented on the outcome of the fight, praising Joshua’s performance: “Greatness takes its time. “Joshua took his time, he hit a big shot and I’m just happy that Helenius got up.”
But the UFC fighter’s speech did not end there. Then the typical trash talk in the spirit of McGregor began. This time it went to blogger KSI, who became a UFC fighter. The Irishman criticized his technique, calling KSI a mediocre fighter: “he couldn’t even pack eggs if he worked in an egg packing factory.”
McGregor didn’t stop there. He again announced his appearance in the ring, saying that his fight with Michael Chandler was about to take place, and after his several fights in the near future:
- fight with Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt;
- fight with Nate Diaz.

However, these statements should be treated with skepticism. It is far from certain that McGregor will return in the near future. Let’s remember: in 2021, he broke his leg in a fight against Poirier and then went to recovery.
However, it is not injury that prevents him from returning to the UFC, but a doping scandal. An athlete is prohibited from competing in the UFC until he passes tests that confirm that he is clean and can take part in fights.
But even if permission is received, you shouldn’t expect much from the fights. McGregor is a master of loud statements and trash talk, but in the last years of his career he did not show anything extraordinary in the ring. His fight with Poirier ended in a technical knockout in the first round.
In addition, age makes itself felt: McGregor is now 35. Yes, there are older fighters, but not everyone had such a big career break as Conor.
