Conor McGregor seemingly calls for UFC return with bold "let's get this show started" message, fans react: "This means nothing"

Conor McGregor recently shared two messages on his Instagram stories. Given that he has hinted at a possible return to the UFC through that, it has garnered significant attention and sparked reactions from fight fans.

Since his UFC 264 defeat against Dustin Poirier, 'The Notorious' has not entered the octagon for a fight. Although McGregor was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, he had to withdraw due to a toe injury.

Currently, the Irishman is not linked to any upcoming UFC fights. However, he continues to tease his return, stating:

"@danawhite @tkogrp CALL THAT BIG BUTT NURSE"

In another Instagram story, he said:

"Let's get this show started @ufc"
