Earlier today, the former two-division champion promised fans “the biggest sports comeback in all of history.” Conor McGregor hasn’t competed since suffering a devastating leg injury in his last fight in July 2021. However, the Irishman is reportedly planning to return to the octagon in February/March 2023. Furthermore, the UFC megastar is set to make his feature film debut. McGregor will star in the remake of the 1989 movie ‘Road House’, with his shooting schedule expected to commence this month. Ahead of his Hollywood debut, McGregor has vowed to make a comeback in the sport of MMA. He tweeted a video of highlights from some of his past victories alongside a statement that read as follows: “The greatest and the biggest sports comeback in all of history. Will you be a witness?” Check out the video below: Conor McGregor@TheNotoriousMMAThe greatest and the biggest sports comeback in all of history.

Johnny Hope@Johnnyh0p3@TheNotoriousMMA Gonna be LEGENDARY @TheNotoriousMMA Gonna be LEGENDARY Is a grudge match against Khabib Nurmagomedov s protégé on the horizon for Conor McGregor Presently, Charles Oliveira is scheduled to fight Islam Makhachev for the vacant UFC lightweight title at UFC 280 on October 22nd. Many view Dagestan’s Makhachev as the favorite to win that fight and emerge as the new lightweight champion. Intriguingly, McGregor has long been at odds with Makhachev and more so with the latter’s childhood friend, former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. ESPN MMA@espnmmaA new lightweight champion will be crowned on Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi #UFC280288983531A new lightweight champion will be crowned on Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi #UFC280 https://t.co/Kvsa5TFAtK The consensus is that although Nurmagomedov retired in October 2020 and is unlikely to ever return to MMA again, his longtime training partner and protégé Makhachev could continue their rivalry with McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ is currently on a two-fight losing streak. However, considering the plethora of variables at play, McGregor could very well find himself fighting for the title in 2023, provided Makhachev gets past Oliveira.
