In July 2021, Conor McGregor broke his leg when he was with Dustin Poirier. Since then, this boxer has been dedicated to recovering injuries.
At the age of 33, McGregor's wound heals very quickly. Therefore, the Irish puncher made an appointment with Charles Oliveira to be ready for a belt match.
However, the Brazilian athlete will seem to have to play the battle to protect the belt against Justin Gaethje in May. Therefore, McGregor must find another opponent.
Islam Makhachev is such a person. Islam Makhachev is a close friend of Khabib Nurmagomedov and has recently won the Ao Ao against rival Bobby Green in late February.
Commenting on the match took place a week ago, Conor McGregor did not show an impression: “I will win that weak puncher without spending a drop of sweat (referring to Islam Makhachev). It was a shameful match. The punches were not powerful.
Both Makhachev and Rafael Dos Anjos fought better than the real battle. Shame. Be careful when I come back. Currently, the matches are of bad quality ”.
Considered to be the most famous MMA boxer in the history of martial arts general world, Conor McGregor played a total of 28 professional matches (22 wins, 6 losses). He lost the last 3/4 times before Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier (2 times).
