Conor McGregor has been itching to get back into the octagon for some time now. The former UFC double champion has recovered from his horrific leg break at UFC 264. His road to return started with the announcement of season 31 of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ where he coached opposite his potential future opponent, Michael Chandler.

However, weeks removed from TUF filming, McGregor does not yet have a date for his return. His recent spat with USADA is also not helping his case. Both McGregor and his fans grow weary with each passing day without an update about McGregor vs. Chandler.

Now, ‘Mystic Mac’ has dropped another cryptic tweet, which could be a hint that things are happening behind the scenes and we may soon get a date for the bout.

What did Conor McGregor tweet?

Conor McGregor and his Twitter activities rarely fail in making it to the news. The Irishman has a notable online presence where he beefs with other fighters, makes outlandish claims, or promotes himself and his products. His most recent tweets said that he was working on a new lager to join the ranks of his alcohol business. In another set of tweets, he showed the pool from where he was currently residing and wished his followers a happy Easter Sunday.

In addition, he dropped a ‘Mystic Mac’ style tweet that read “Stay Ready for the date.” Many felt the fighter was hinting at a return date.

Conor McGregor is a master of self-promotion. With just five simple words, he had aroused the curiosity of fans and now has them discussing his return. However, this is not the only cryptic tweet he dropped this weekend. He managed to shift some of the spotlights from the UFC 287 main event onto himself with another ambiguous tweet.
