Former dual-champion Conor McGregor surprised the world when he pulled out of his clash against Michael Chandler at UFC 303. The Dubliner broke his toe and was not able to recover in time, therefore he couldn’t turn up for the event. However, he is currently on his road to recovery and is waiting for his comeback. But it seems ‘Mystic Mac’ isn’t quite impressed with the way he is being treated.

McGregor, since suffering from the devastating leg injury, is yet to make a return to the Octagon. It now seems that the 36-year-old might not feature in 2024 at all. UFC CEO Dana White has shot down the idea of him making a comeback this year. While it was believed that UFC 310 in December might have featured the former two-division champion, there is hardly any announcement of his return as of yet. McGregor isn’t quite impressed by the idea and recently took to his Instagram account to show his resentment.

The Dubliner is fairly active on social media and constantly keeps his fans updated. This time he was indeed seeing training but with a unique caption which has been shared by Championship Rounds – ‘When I get free,’ wrote the former ‘champ champ.’ McGregor has only two fights left in his contract with the UFC but it seems he is confined and restricted by his obligations. Speculation is running wild with many of the fans believing that this caption might just be hinted at the UFC CEO Dana White.

McGregor is without a doubt the biggest star of the sport and fans take notice of whatever he does. His latest Instagram post also caught the attention of many out there. Just like most of his posts this particular one also had mixed reactions from the fans. Let us take a look at what they had to say.

Is Conor McGregor threatening to leave the UFC?

Staying in the news is something that ‘Mystic Mac’ does the best. Despite staying out of action for such a long time, McGregor is desperate to return to action. However, it seems his pullout from UFC 303 might just have derailed his return. His latest training post might be impressive but what caught the attention of the fans is the caption. Let us take a look at what they had to say about it.

McGregor’s recent run inside the Octagon has been not very impressive. One user feels the Dubliner has no one but only himself to blame – “Free of what?!?! Lmao he’s holding himself back.”

The former dual champion has always been one of the elite in the sport and seeing him train one user commented, “Those elbows are clean tho.”  One of the biggest stars of the sport, Conor McGregor has a massive fan following all around the world. But one cannot deny the fact that he has been out of action for quite some time. His absence forced one of the users to comment, “We all lost interest.” 

With only two fights left on his contract in the UFC and McGregor wanting to try something new, predictions have started to flow in from all corners. The Dubliner has featured in a boxing bout before and one user wants to see him in the boxing ring again and commented, “If Conor fights again it will be a boxing match with Nate. He will never get in the Octagon again.”

The frustration of not seeing the former dual champion in action is pretty evident out there and one of his fans showed his emotions and commented, “At this point I don’t want to see him unless buffer is calling his name in the Octagon.” 

Conor McGregor surprised the world when he announced his partnership with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. He was even engaged in an intense face-off with Mike Perry and also showed his willingness to fight him. However, fans don’t want to see him there and commented, “He not bare knuckle fighting man stop it.”

Who can forget the historic Jose Aldo knockout by Conor McGregor to win the featherweight title? But he now needs to change his fighting style and focus more on his conditioning as advised by one of the users,  “My guy thinks he can end all the fights like he did against Jose Aldo. His first fight might be five rounds slug fes” 

As fans, one can only hope that Conor McGregor returns to action this year and also wins his fight against Chandler. However, one of the biggest questions is when can we see him in action next. With no announcement from the UFC, his comeback is still under a lot of question. Do you think we will see the former dual champion return to action this year? Let us know about it in the comments below.
