McGregor hasn't fought since suffering a brutal injury, breaking his leg in the trilogy showdown with bitter rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021.
Conor McGregor has posted the results of a recent drug test online as he made another plea to the UFC for a fight date.
McGregor hasn't fought since suffering a brutal injury, breaking his leg in the trilogy showdown with bitter rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. The former two-weight was set to fight Michael Chandler in June at UFC 303, but was forced to pull out of the contest due to an injury, with his return to the Octagon now being put back until the new year.
"It will be 2025," he told DAZN when asked when he will be fighting next. "We will see. My opponent that I had scheduled... it is what it is. I take it on board and rock on. My job is to go to the gym and be in shape. Whenever it is and wherever it is. I will be 100 per cent ready. I must get two fights in 2025. It's the promised land. Who knows . It does not matter. Whoever, let's see. I like it to be Chandler. I wish him well and see where it goes.
UFC chief Dana White always anticipated that the MMA icon would return next year. When asked if McGregor will fight again, he replied: “Yes. I wasn’t 100 per cent in 2024, but I am in 2025. I just am. I know more than you guys know. I’m 100 per cent confident McGregor will fight next year."
