The first double champ in UFC’s history tweeted a short clip that contained some of his biggest moments. It included his faceoff and eventual victories against Donald Cerrone, Jose Aldo, Eddie Alvarez, and Dustin Poirier (UFC 178).

Along with the video, ‘The Notorious’ wrote, “The greatest and biggest sports comeback in all of history. Will you be a witness?”

Several fans reacted to the post. A die-hard fan compared the Irish fighter to Jon Jones and Silva.

Another Twitter user made a Jones comparison. ‘Mystic Mac’ recently sparked retirement rumors and, hence, this fan had a theory to share.

A fan wondered what would happen if Conor McGregor came back and eventually became the 155 class champion.

One long-time fan wasn’t happy with McGregor’s recent style.

Further, a social media user had a peculiar way of making fun of the fighter.

Another UFC fan referred to McGregor’s previous fights and retirements to express their disappointment.

Thus, combat fans had a lot to say regarding McGregor’s potential comeback. But he is yet to enter USADA’s testing pool and hasn’t been tested a single time in 2022. Besides, as per several reports, the fighter might only return in 2023.
