Conor McGregor’s Highly Anticipated Comeback
The question of who is the greatest Mixed Martial Artist of all time has once again come to light. While fan communities keep butting heads, there is absolutely no denying that Conor McGregor is a name that everyone knows. The ‘Mystic Mac’ seems to have retained his fame despite his two-year absence from the octagon. With a brand new development, fans are excited to see what the Irishman has in store next.
It is certain that McGregor’s return will take the MMA community by storm, to be deemed one of the biggest events in the promotion’s 3-decade-long history. A recent leak that comes from lightweight Jamie Mullarkey’s team has shed some light on ‘The Notorious’s’ comeback or at least where it might be.
In their post on his Instagram, Mullarkey’s management team revealed that the Australian would be taking on an opponent in Ireland in December. This news has sparked speculation among fans, as McGregor, who is Irish, is also slated to return to the ring after two years out of the ring in December this year. A comeback on his home turf would turn it into an even bigger event.
UFC CEO Dana White has not yet confirmed the event or McGregor’s return, who has not fought since July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier. However, a UFC Ireland event without McGregor seems unlikely, doesn’t it?
Fan Speculations
Fans were quick to take the discussion to Reddit and here is some of what they had to say:
- One fan was happy at the news and wondered who the main event for the card would be.
- Another fan speculated that Conor McGregor would headline the event and would face bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley in it.
- Another was excited and felt it would be a huge event if the two were to fight in Ireland.
- One Irish fan replied and said that the Irish fans would not support fellow countryman McGregor, but would hope Chandler knocks him out.
- Another UFC fan opined that Mullarkey’s last win against John Makdessi at UFC 293 this September was a bad decision that should have gone the other way.
Over the past few years, fans have turned against McGregor because of his shenanigans. This recent development has sparked mixed reactions among fans. So what do you think about this? Are you excited at the prospect of McGregor vs. Mullarkey or do you think the champion should face O’Malley instead? Let us know in the comments below.
