“At This Point, This Is Sad.”: Conor McGregor Posing With His 8-Year-Old Featherweight Championship Belt Leaves the Internet Divided

It is widely acknowledged among MMA enthusiasts that Conor McGregor is an inherently unpredictable figure. McGregor possesses a remarkable knack for maintaining his online presence, thanks to his social media antics. With over ten instances of declaring retirement, numerous cryptic challenges, and a relentless stream of unkept promises, it is prudent to approach the words of ‘Mystic Mac’ with a degree of skepticism.

Just like that, recently, McGregor shared a photo of himself wearing the 145lb UFC World Championship Belt on his shoulders. However, the belt is his old belt from 8 years ago. This antic has stirred up a storm on the internet, with fans holding divided opinions.

Conor McGregor’s anticipated comeback and potential showdown with Michael Chandler

For those who may not be aware, Conor McGregor has been absent from the world of MMA since his last match against Dustin Poirier. During that match, he suffered a significant leg injury.

Following the show’s customary tradition, there is an anticipation that McGregor will face Chandler after the show’s finale. However, it’s important to note that, as of the present moment, nothing has been officially confirmed.

From sharing his UFC comeback countdown card to achieving a BJJ black belt to the recent UFC belt, the mystic man has been keeping the fans engaged with news of his return.
