To Diego Sanchez... I seen your recent comments about your final bout and I am in! After you fought Pereira, I had requested for myself and you to compete in Dublin.

Conor McGregor's to fight Manny Pacquiao next?

In early 2020, Conor McGregor made his return to the Octagon in the main event of UFC 246. At the pay-per-view, The Notorious One put away the veteran Donald Cerrone within 40 seconds and with the win, marked the triumphant return of the former two-division UFC Champion for the first time since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

3 weeks post my last record breaking event, I was campaigning for another blockbuster McGregor event to take place. Sad about my season I must say 😔

While it was reportedly claimed by McGregor that he was looking to keep himself active in the UFC throughout 2020, the former UFC Lightweight Champion eventually decided to retire after the COVID-19 outbreak. It was initially noted that the UFC had failed to negotiate a fight with McGregor and in his recent tweet, the Irishman shared numerous screenshots to prove it as well.

After failing to come to terms for a fight against Diego Sanchez, Conor McGregor also asked for a fight against Justin Gaethje but as it turned out, even that fight never came to fruition.
