What’s next for Conor McGregor?
Conor McGregor has been out of action ever since his trilogy fight against his rival, Dustin Poirier.
He has already undergone surgery for the injury he sustained in that fight and will look forward to returning to the octagon. During his time away from the octagon, McGregor has bulked up and put on a good amount of lean muscle mass.

This means that he will probably move up a weight class for his next fight. As for the opponent, McGregor has made a long list of enemies in the welterweight division. Lots of names pop up – Nate Diaz, Kamaru Usman, Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington, etc.
Although these names have been thrown around for a while now, the UFC has confirmed nothing. We will have to wait and see what Dana White decides is the best route for McGregor’s return. As for when the Irishman would return, his coach, John Kavanagh, stated that we could see McGregor enter the octagon before the end of this year.
