It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Conor McGregor’s fighting spirit has been on shaky ground for quite some time. Despite his relentless efforts to stage a comeback in both the UFC and BKFC, things rarely go as planned for the former dual-weight champion. The past year hasn’t been easy, with the Nikita Hand case casting a shadow over his peace of mind and affecting his family and businesses as well. Yet, amid the chaos, the ‘Notorious’ remains grateful for the unwavering loyalty of his loved ones—and his recent surprise is just the cherry on top.

Conor McGregor took to his Instagram handle to share a wholesome photo of his entire family at Wrigley Field on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois, captioning it with, ‘Got me RIGHT.’ The photo shows McGregor kissing his fiancée, Dee Devlin, while their kids look at the camera.

Recently, ‘Mystic Mac’ has been spending a lot of time with his family, which could be seen as his way of thanking them for standing by his side during his toughest times. But that’s not all—Conor McGregor recently shared a video that surprised both his fans and his fiancée, showcasing a quick boxing drill with his eldest son, Conor Jr.

The McGregor family is blessed with four children and it is just a matter of time before one of them follows the footsteps of their father and embraces the world of combat sports. Given that, McGregor’s warm moment with his family might be a much-needed thing for him but his fans are restless as they demand a match for their star within the combat sports realm.

Fans react with comeback drama as Conor McGregor shares a wholesome moment with family

A social media user directly asked whether the fighter had “Retired?” or not. The answer is no—Conor McGregor has not retired from the sport. He has been actively trying to make a comeback, although when he will be fighting remains uncertain. Recently, he hinted at returning to the fighting world through BKFC, “For sure. If you think I’m up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I won’t step in there myself, think again. For sure, Conor McGregor will fight in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Mark my words.” 

Will he keep his word? The answer to this question is a bit confusing as even his won fans are worried about him, “Bro start fighting.” Furthermore, the former UFC champ finally found some support for himself within the MMA realm, “Looking good with the fam.”

What’s your perspective on:

Has Conor McGregor lost his fighting edge, or is a triumphant comeback still on the cards?

Have an interesting take?

The Nikita Hand civil case was a significant blotch on the storied life of the ex-UFC champion, causing him to lose much of his authenticity. Many companies that previously partnered with him refused to continue their association. Several local supermarkets removed his “Proper No. Twelve” whiskey from their shelves, and IO Interactive removed Conor McGregor-related content from their Hitman series, among other repercussions. Looking at this a fan wrote, “biggest fall off in human history.”

Furthermore, another social media user just straight-out called out Conor McGregor to marry his fiancee, “Marry her already.” Last but not least, a fan showed the reality to the former champ, “Ain’t sh-t no more.”  With a career record of 22 victories and 6 defeats, it would not be wrong to state that McGregor has fallen from grace. Despite his legendary double-champ run, things have changed drastically since then.

As of writing this, Conor McGregor is quite busy acting as a promoter for the BKFC but his return date has yet to be finalized by the former UFC champ. What are your thoughts on his comeback? State your opinion in the comments below.
