Fans all around the world await the return of Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ has been absent from the octagon after back-to-back defeats against Dustin Poirier. However, he has been teasing a return to the octagon ever since. Since his horrific leg injury back in mid-2021, McGregor has also been bulking up his physique. The ‘Mystic Mac’ has ‘predicted’ his return to be at the middleweight division too, but he backtracked on the statement. Recently, McGregor teased his fans about his return with a tweet of his introduction at UFC 246 by Bruce Buffer.

Another fan correctly said as McGregor is a pure ‘theatrical’ fighter and no one in the UFC comes close.
I mean everyone can hate him and fair play but you can't deny when it comes to the theatrical side of the sport, there is no one that's done it like him
