Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has shared a childhood photo of himself with a message, creating speculations about his much-awaited UFC return, which is in limbo.
'The Notorious' most recently hinted at potential retirement. However, with a few days left for UFC 314, the Irishman showed interest in the UFC 314 co-main event between Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett.
The Dubliner last locked horns with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 and suffered a brutal leg break, which forced him to stay out of the octagon. In 2024, he was locked to fight Chandler. However, 'The Notorious' withdrew from the bout because of an injury.
The Irishman has also vowed to fight in the BKFC, alongside promoting fights. There were also talks of him fighting Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition match, which did not come to fruition.
