At the end of June 2024, Conor McGregor will officially re -export the professional MMA arena after nearly 3 years of absence. He encountered opponent Michael Chandler at the UFC 303 event. In the return day, McGregor will play in the Welterweight weight class, instead of Lightweight as before.
McGregor's ability to play well on the day of returning to the UFC arena is still open. He took a break from playing for a long time. Besides, McGregor's injury was previously considered very serious, which could seriously affect the ability of this boxer to recover.
Despite the doubts about the condition, McGregor still asserted that he was in good form. The boxer said: “I will play at UFC 303, and soon, if UFC feels reasonable, I will continue. It could be the UFC 306 event.” This boxer also pointed out the two opponents he wanted to encounter early.
“Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz are my potential rivals. They should know that I am trying to encounter them. Nate Diaz is an interesting opponent, because we have encountered each other twice in the past,” McGregor said. Each winner once in previous matches.
In fact, the possibility of the above two boxers accepting the competition with McGregor is not high. Nate Diaz left UFC 2 years ago. He only appeared once in martial arts tournaments, when he accepted the professional boxing competition with Jake Paul. Meanwhile, Gaethje will take a break until the end of 2024.
Gaethje himself has confirmed that he needs to rest for a long time, because the injuries after the match against Max Holloway are not light. For that reason, in case McGregor wants to play soon in 2024, he will have to find other rivals more suitable.
