Future of Conor McGregor in UFC 

Former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor has been out of action for almost three and a half years now. The last time Conor McGregor stepped inside the UFC octagon was in 2021 at the UFC 264 pay-per-view, where he faced his long-term rival, former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier for the third time.

Diamond stuck to his game plan and targeted McGregor's weak lead leg. He managed to land some vicious, clean low leg kicks on Notorious’s leg. By the end of round one, McGregor snapped his leg.

The referee stopped the as Conor McGregor was unable to compete further in the match, and Diamond was announced as the winner of the UFC 264 bout. Conor McGregor was out of the competition and was recovering from his injury.  

The stage was set for the return of Conor McGregor, who was scheduled to return at UFC 303 pay-per-view this Saturday and was booked to lock horns with Michael Chandler in a five-round main event match-up at the welterweight division.

Unfortunately, UFC had to cancel the much-awaited fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler just two weeks away from the extravaganza after Conor McGregor injured his toe in a sparring session he had while he was preparing for his comeback fight.

Fight enthusiasts are now wondering about Mystic Mac's future in the UFC. Some reports suggest Conor McGregor is now filled with motivation, and his injury is not that severe. In some weeks, he’ll be cleared for the rumble. Conor McGregor and his team are eyeing a return this same year, and the month they are targeting for the potential return is September or October.
