Islam Makhachev's Unwavering Skepticism Towards Conor McGregor's Return
Islam Makhachev, a former lightweight champion, remains unconvinced about Conor McGregor's potential comeback in the UFC. Despite McGregor's persistent hints of a return since his leg injury in 2021, Makhachev believes his fighting days are over. With a record of 1-2 since his 2018 title loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor's chances of a comeback seem slim. Makhachev's skepticism is further fueled by McGregor's recent disqualification from the anti-doping commission. He suggests that McGregor's career might be over, and questions whether McGregor will ever return to the Octagon. Makhachev also dismisses the idea of McGregor fighting at the White House, suggesting that it's more likely for Jon Jones to make a comeback in that venue.
Makhachev's own career is on the rise, as he headlines the UFC 322 event at Madison Square Garden, a historic venue where McGregor made history. Makhachev's performance at MSG will undoubtedly be a significant moment in his career, but it seems that McGregor's future in the sport remains uncertain.
