Conor McGregor’s time in the UFC has been the best of times and the worst of times, although the glory days feel like a distant memory.

Conor McGregor has not fought since July 2021 and his UFC future remains uncertain, but one man is convinced the Irishman will return to the Octagon in 2025

Conor McGregor has been backed to return to the Octagon in 2025 by the man he was scheduled to face this year. The Dubliner was due to fight Michael Chandler back in June, but withdrew from the bout after suffering a broken toe in training. Chandler instead fought Charles Oliveira at Madison Square Garden last month, losing via unanimous decision.

The mixed martial artist hasn't entered the octagon since July 2021 but is being hyped up to make his comeback next year despite dealing with recent troubles outside the sport
