Conor McGregor was last seen in action in 2021 when he took on Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The match ended with Poirier winning the fight via TKO after McGregor suffered a terrible leg injury and broke his ankle. Since then, ‘The Notorious’ has been waiting to return to the Octagon. While many predicted that he would return at UFC 296, it seems like the fans now must wait longer.

McGregor has not only entertained the fans inside the Octagon but also took on a boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather in his career. The Dubliner surprised everyone with his boxing skills and put up a show for his fans. He traded blows with the boxing legend in 2017 and put up a good fight. However, Mayweather proved his class and won the battle, taking his tally to 50-0 in professional boxing.

Reports suggested that Mayweather earned a whooping $250million from his last fight. While many experts speculated on the amount, and some even termed it “insane.” It now seems McGregor’s last post hints at a poke at Mayweather. With McGregor not getting a fight in the UFC and showing interest in taking on another boxing fight, will the fans get to see another boxing bout featuring the Dubliner?
