Conor McGregor and the endless guessing game

Conor McGregor’s return to the cage has slowly evolved into a fable with many endings. One suggested that he’ll come back at UFC 300 and now, another one suggests he’ll come back June 29th. Dana White has already cleared the air about the latter and now Chael Sonnen has a solid idea of the former.

A small answer to a prolonged question

In truth, no one can tell. Perhaps not even the Irishman himself. Perhaps he has no certainty of his return as of right now, but to keep the hype around it alive, it has become necessary to keep reminding fans that he’s going to come back soon. Interestingly, MMA insider and UFC veteran Josh Thomson believes that McGregor won’t be making a comeback this year.

Thomson, on his ‘Weighing In’ show, told fans and co-host John McCarthy that it’s probably the UFC that’s holding his return out for the time being. There’s no solid reason why, but even McGregor has accused the UFC of not giving him a fight. But he is still in the USADA pool being tested since it hasn’t been six months since he entered. So will he return soon? Probably not. Perhaps a date not too soon after UFC 300 would feel like a relief to the fans. What do you think?
