Conor McGregor is the biggest star in the UFC. Since his horrible leg-break against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, 'The Notorious' has been nursing an ankle injury.
Now, McGregor seems to have recovered and fans may expect to see him soon. The question is who will McGregor fight next?
It would only be fair if the Irishman is granted a chance to redeem himself against Dustin Poirier. McGregor showed open hostility towards Poirier in the cage even after the fight was stopped. McGregor must be itching to settle the score with his longtime-rival 'The Diamond'.
In his last five fights in the octagon, the Irishman has lost three and won two. Another concern is that the shots by McGregor, which once knocked out Poirier, do not seem to rattle the American anymore.
Despite there being no official date for his return, fans can expect to see McGregor back in the octagon in 2023. During a recent interview, 'Mystic Mac' provided fans with an update. The Irishman, who has been shooting for a movie, said about a potential return:
"Soon, hopefully soon, after the film." [H/T Mirror Fighting]
Conor McGregor will make his cinematic debut in the remake of the 80's action flick Road House. The movie, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is scheduled to release in 2023.
Is Conor McGregor fighting Floyd Mayweather again?
In 2017, the world of combat sports witnessed a spectacle when Conor McGregor took on Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring. Despite McGregor not being successful, the Irishman showed heart and valiantly fought 10 rounds against arguably the greatest boxer of all time.
Since then, many fans have been hoping to see the two share the ring again. Floyd Mayweather looks keen to fight the Irishman once again. In an interview with TMZ Sports, the former boxing world champion said:
"Hopefully me and Conor McGregor can lock up in 2023 in a real fight. They already talked to me about the number that I'm going to receive, and of course, it's nine figures." [H/T TMZ Sports]
While Mayweather has expressed his interest in a second bout with McGregor, the former two-division champion seems reluctant. In a since-deleted Instagram post, McGregor replied to whispers of him fighting 'Money':
"Not interested." [H/T Mirror Fighting]
