UFC light-weight champ Islam Makhachev thinks Conor McGregor will not battle once again.
‘The Notorious’ has actually run out the cage for over 3 years now. Conor McGregor last appeared in the octagon in July 2021, suffering a damaged leg in his trilogy bout versus Dustin Poirier. Ever since, the Irishman has actually consistently required a go back to the cage. Thankfully, he was lastly scheduled for his resurgence previously this summer season.
Conor McGregor didn’t wind up contending. Simply 2 weeks out of his UFC 303 bout versus Michael Chandler, the previous champ took out due to a damaged toe. In spite of hope that the Irishman would get reserved opposite ‘Iron’ in December, those strategies didn’t pertain to fulfillment. Previously today, Chandler signed an offer to eliminate Charles Oliveira in November.
That battle statement is an indication to Islam Makhachev that the Irishman isn’t major about battling once again. Speaking in a current interview with Match televisionthe UFC light-weight champ was inquired about Conor McGregor contending. There, Makhachev mainly chuckled off the concern, mentioning that ‘The Notorious’ remains in the club more than the fitness center.

[Conor’s return] is currently a dream.” Islam Makhachev specified in a current interview with MatchTV when inquired about the Irishman. “He attempts to survive with his language. He is more in clubs than in training.” (h/t Championship Rounds)
For what it’s worth, Islam Makhachev’s chance at Conor McGregor comes as no huge surprise. Considering that the Irishman dealt with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the fall of 2018, the 2 camps have actually continually talked garbage about one another. McGregor himself has actually consistently required a battle versus Makhachev given that the Russian ended up being champ in 2022.
Still, this most current remark will likely produce a reaction from the previous UFC champ soon. While Michael Chandler has actually been scheduled opposite Charles Oliveira, Conor McGregor has actually continued to project for a battle on social networks. For the Irishman, it appears that he will have to keep waiting for a while.
