"He ain't coming back" - UFC fans react to "slow" Conor McGregor training footage

Even some of Conor McGregors most dedicated fans appear to be losing hope that he'll ever step into the UFC Octagon again.

A former two-division champion and the biggest star in the history of the UFC, McGregor hasnt competed since a broken ankle ended his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier when the pair headlined UFC 264 in 2021.

That result put The Notorious on a 1-3 run dating back to his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, and after pulling out of a planned return fight with Michael Chandler last summer theres been no update from the UFC on any specific plans for the Irishman to compete this year.

While some fans commented with their hopes that a return fight announcement might be coming in the near future, others werent as impressed by the footage and questioned whether McGregor will ever come back to the UFC.

Chandler has still expressed interest in revisiting the McGregor fight if the Irishman intends to stage a comeback, but at this point it seems like many fans have given up on speculating about when The Notorious may return to the UFC until theres a concrete fight announcement in place.
