Conor McGregor, the biggest star in mixed martial arts, is growing increasingly frustrated with the UFC’s delays in setting up his return to action. Despite his immense popularity and the anticipation surrounding his comeback, McGregor has been left wondering why the UFC is dragging their feet. While attending the Day of Reckoning boxing card in Saudi Arabia, McGregor expressed his negative feelings towards the UFC and their lack of communication.
"The lads here are talking Manny [Pacquiao], the UFC aren’t talking any," McGregor angrily stated. "Give me something! You know what I’m saying? I was supposed to be back in April, I was supposed to be back in April. It was supposed to be December."

Naturally, McGregor has every right to be upset with this situation. He believes that he is being mistreated and that his contributions to the fight game warrant better treatment from the UFC. McGregor’s frustration is evident as he waits for a resolution to the ongoing delays.
"They’ve never treated anyone, no one’s ever been treated [like this]. For all the figures I’ve brought in this game, I sell more than all of them combined, yeah? I sell more than every one of them combined. No one in the history of the fight game’s ever been treated the way I’m getting treated at this minute, yeah?"
With McGregor’s patience wearing thin, it remains to be seen what the future holds for his return to the octagon. Will the UFC finally give him the fight he’s been waiting for, or will this feud continue to escalate? Only time will tell.
