Conor McGregor: Where does he go from here?

While McGregor’s impact is still very much on display every time he tweets something out, fans want to see his in-cage activity flourish. McGregor hasn’t won a fight at lightweight since UFC 205 in November 2016 and is 1-3 in his last four fights.

The Irishman will be keen to stamp his authority in a massive way and make a meaningful run at lightweight. MMA fans and pundits still believe he can be a viable force despite accruing some disappointing losses. For the most part, McGregor’s ability to bounce back from adversity was the pivotal reason for his rise in the first place.

All eyes will be on ‘Notorious’ as he aims to make his way back from the potentially career-ending injury he suffered. However, he’s already in training per his Instagram and can’t wait to get back into action.
