Conor McGregor‘s return to the octagon is eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide, but it seems that some are having second thoughts about his readiness to fight. Despite the immense excitement surrounding his comeback, fans are beginning to doubt his readiness after his lackluster appearance in Las Vegas.
McGregor is set to face Michael Chandler, his opponent coach from the 31st season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. While this matchup is certainly exciting, it has faced its own share of setbacks in the course, potentially jeopardizing McGregor’s scheduled return. In the midst of all this, McGregor has been living it up like there’s no tomorrow in Las Vegas, which has raised eyebrows among fans, who have expressed disappointment over the fact that he doesn’t seem to be taking his training seriously.
