Father of Three Kids, Conor McGregor Gets a Whiff of Reality as Ex-UFC Star Claims Irishman Too Consumed to Ever Fight Again

Conor McGregor’s UFC return is not yet finalized, but a piece of official news can just be around the corner. For months now, USADA has been a constant hurdle for the Irishman’s comeback. However, it now seems like McGregor might have found his way through. The former UFC champ has lately been talking about returning to the UFC octagon in December, and everyone has something or the other to say about it.

Recently, former UFC fighter Darren Till made some bold statements about McGregor’s return. Till appeared in an interview with Sportslens, and the host asked him about the impressive numbers of the UFC 229 PPV featuring McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, Till quickly shifted the conversation to McGregor’s return.

Darren Till doesn’t think Conor McGregor can come back the same

The former UFC fighter boldly highlighted McGregor’s struggle to transition away from the world of fighting. Further, Till expressed doubt about McGregor’s comeback, suggesting that McGregor might never return to the sport. “That was it, Conor’s never coming back, in my opinion,” he said.

Despite this, ‘The Gorilla’ acknowledged the significance of the Irishman’s achievements and emphasized the importance of respecting his contributions to the sport. “But he has still done what he has done, so we can’t disregard what the guy has done. You have to give respect. Conor is struggling to let it go. He doesn’t want to let it go well, it’s time to let it go,” he added.

Further, Till also delved into the Irishman’s current state, noting that he now has financial stability and a loving family. However, he pinpointed McGregor’s reluctance to move on from fighting as his primary challenge. “He’s got the money, he got his beautiful kids. The only problem with Conor right now is he just doesn’t want to let it go,” he added.

Interestingly, Till talked about this same topic nearly 3 years ago. However, his opinion was immensely different from what he stated recently. In an episode of ‘Anything Goes with James English’, the MMA fighter went on to praise ‘The Notorious’ for his legacy.

“A lot of people come to me a lot of time and they’ll be like ‘What do you think of Conor McGregor’? He hit that gold fella. And I go, ‘I don’t really give a fu*k. He is a fu**ing unbelievable fighter”, he said. Further, Till also shed light on McGregor’s lucrative net worth. “Mate, how can you not change? He’s had a 150 million thrown at him. He has been the best in the world,” he added.

Darren Till’s comment is just one example of the polarising opinions of the MMA world when it comes to McGregor’s return. What are your opinions? Do you think ‘The Notorious’ can make a successful comeback? Let us know in the comments below.
