It appears as if the wheels are once again in motion for a return to the Octagon by former UFC champion Conor McGregor.
Using social media, "Notorious" let it be known that, "The rumors are true!" in regards to his return to competition. McGregor has not fought for the UFC since a July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier.
"Mr. Confidence returns to save fighting again," McGregor posted on Instagram. "Call your grandma! Nanny we did it! Watch and pay me. (Expletive) you pay me. You fat Irish prick you don't have any money I put your brain to sleep.
"See ya's in the casinos after, the Mac loves ya's all, I got love for ya's all it's an honor it's light work it's easy."
The former two-division champion is targeted for a possible fight in July during the annual International Fight Week put on by the UFC.
"For life and eternity, it's McGregor," he wrote. "Big Money Mac Daddy McGregor. I expect fawning of the highest for life. I do this fight game easy peezy. The sound of my shots off the head go 'bing' in green dot laser form.
"Watch divine magic when I fight. Hey Paramount Plus, see you guys soon. I'm so excited. And born ready!"
Conor McGregor Not Part Of UFC White House Event
Early rumors centered around McGregor returning during the upcoming UFC White House event. However, that card has since been announced, and he is not part of it.
Instead, the Nevada Athletic Commission could determine the date of McGregor's return. During a meeting on Wednesday, the NAC approved July 11 for what would be UFC 329, lining up with the July International Fight Week plans.
McGregor competed in July in both 2015 and 2014, besting Chad Mendes for the interim featherweight title in 2015 while defeating Diego Brandao in 2014.
