Can Conor McGregor make a comeback and become a ‘high-level fighter’ once again?

McGregor is still widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the UFC. His ability to land pin-point punches is what has allowed him to secure multiple knockout victories not just in the UFC but other promotions as well. 

McGregor also utilized mental warfare well in order to get under his opponent’s skin and more often than not the fight was won for him even before he stepped into the octagon. However, in his recent fight against Poirier, none of his antics worked. McGregor came out in their first fight extremely flat-footed and relied heavily on landing a knockout punch. He did not seem to have a Plan B. That was rectified in the second fight as he came out looking a lot better, moving freely and using his kicks to keep Poirier backed up against the fence. 

The common consensus is that McGregor’s drive and hunger for success inside the octagon is not the same anymore, given he has achieved everything and more that he ever wanted in life. Not pushing yourself a 100% in training camp can often result to bad results in the octagon, which can be seen in the case of McGregor. 

However, McGregor is still a very talented fighter and a return to the top of the game would entirely depend on him and if he still has the fire to become a world champion in the UFC once again.
