The notable MMA coach John Kavanagh’s latest tweet left a nasty taste in MMA fans’ mouths when he announced the recent development surrounding his famed disciple, Conor McGregor. While his announcement elevated the fans’ hope, those were soon dashed as they realized the true intent behind it. Notably, the SBG Ireland lynchpin disclosed the camp had settled down on a date for the Irish fighter’s comeback fight. The buzz surrounding the Dublin-born has gained traction since his return to the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. Further, the fans remained hopeful of the resurgence of the ‘Notorious’ that might ensue later this year. However, they were left heartbroken as they unearthed the authentic essence of the declaration.

Notably, the 46-year-old took to his Twitter handle on Saturday as he admitted the exact date of the former UFC champion’s return. Furthermore, the Irish MMA pioneer suggested the fans might witness the ‘Mystic Mac’ in action during the upcoming international fight week in July. However, the fans promptly added two and two and busted Kavanagh’s trick.

Kavanagh discusses return date of Conor McGregor

The MMA fighter-turned-coach tried to deceive the fans by indulging in the April Fools’ Day tradition. Therefore, he fabricated an announcement regarding the 35-year-old fighter.

Thus, he wrote, “Finally have a date!! See you all at international fight week….don’t call it a comeback!”

The SBG Ireland representative last fought against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. However, he, unfortunately, suffered a horrific injury and is on the shelf since then. While the 22-6 record holder is expected to fight Michael Chandler next, the details of the event are still being chalked out.

How did the MMA fans react to the April Fools’ Day prank?

While some fans fell for the prank, others found it unamusing. In addition, a few also felt disappointed as they awaited the details of Conor McGregor’s next fight.

A series of comments mentioned how the hype around the former two-division champion has recently died down.

A couple of fans accepted they fell for the spoof.

However, a few of the fans also expressed their frustration over the deception.
