Conor McGregor Teases He's Signed On For UFC Return Fight
Conor McGregor has dropped a big hint about his fighting future.
The first-ever UFC double-champion hasn't been seen inside the Octagon since July 2021. McGregor suffered fractures in his tibia and fibula during his main event bout against Dustin Poirier.
McGregor currently serves as a coach on "The Ultimate Fighter" season 31. His opposing coach is Michael Chandler, and while the idea of a fight between the two has been on the UFC's radar, some are doubting that it'll come to fruition.

Conor McGregor has taken to his Twitter account to potentially tease that he has signed on to return to the Octagon.
McGregor could simply be egging fans on. The "Notorious" one has been quite active on social media, hurling digs at a number of top fighters. Nothing has resulted in "Mystic Mac" making the walk back to the Octagon thus far.
Recently, Conor McGregor reacted to Justin Gaethje's second-round head kick knockout over Dustin Poirier at UFC 291. The Irish superstar said he'd be willing to drop the Michael Chandler fight in favor of a battle with the newly-minted BMF titleholder.
Time will tell what's next for the "Notorious" one. If he does return, he'll be looking for his first pro MMA win since early 2020.
