Conor McGregor Seeks ‘Consistency’ in UFC Return, Hopes to Fight 3-4 Times Per Year

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

With the premiere of “The Ultimate Fighter 31” on Tuesday night, the countdown for Conor McGregor’s Octagon return begins in earnest.


“It’s time for me to immerse myself back in the game,” McGregor said in an interview on the UFC’s YouTube channel. “I’m excited to get back. I couldn’t turn down the offer.”

The former UFC two-division champion said that coaching on the long-running reality show was beneficial to his own development. McGregor previously served as a coach against Urijah Faber on “TUF 22” in 2015.

“I enjoyed myself the last time,” McGregor said. “For me when I start teaching, and I used to coach a boxing class [for John Kavangh] many years ago before I got into the UFC…me committing to coaching a class and coaching a couple of people, it almost forced me to dial in a bit more. I had to think about the technique. I had to think about the way I was gonna teach, why I was teaching. It just allowed me to actually get better. It works both ways. It’s helping me.”



Before McGregor can be officially booked against opposing “TUF 31” coach Michael Chandler, he must re-enter the USADA drug testing pool. UFC president Dana White recently offered a timeline that suggested that McGregor vs. Chandler could happen by December if all goes as planned.

Cool, i'm down to watch his ass kicked another few times a year
More memes to be made

 

[eddi]

It's the coke talking he'll fight 1 last fight and wrap it up

 

[AmericanMMA]

I don't think he believes he'll be fighting 3-4 times a year, but that would be great.

 

[acannxr]

This is the same McGregor who said he wanted to fight three times in 2020 and only fought once (and it was against a washed Cerrone at that).

The business is alive!

Let’s start with 1 and go from there.

 

[VinceArch]

We've heard all this BS before.

 

[svmr_db]

Spoilers: that interview was filmed long before he started dancing around all coked up in Monaco

 

[HaulParris]

I don't think he fights 3-4 more times before he retires, much less in a calendar year.

 

[Poatan Power]

I wish he would. it'd be a win/win. He's only fought entertaining fights for the last 10 years, not sure why people would be upset by this except to just hate Conor because he's the most successful fighter of all time.

 

[HatKick]

lol he has no such intentions.

 

[Tweak896]

Maybe old Conor could return if he was sent to a Buddhist Monastery with his team away from all distractions, and he just focused on fighting only for the next few last years of his career. Probably wouldn't be 100%, but until that happens its all talk. It's embarrassing to see his interview with Ariel what kind of shape he's been in mentally, he needs to remain clean longer than a training camp. No more yacht time or silk sheets, needs to actually try.

I wish he would too because his fights are always entertaining. But he's been saying this since 2018 and he averages less than 1 fight per year since then. It's just BS clickbait shit. He fights just enough to stay in the headlines. I think that's why people react negatively.

I'm not convinced he has 4 more fights, let alone per year

It's probably his bipolar/potential drug use kicking in. Along with the grandiosity, bipolar's during mania tend to inflate what they plan to do and proclaim it very loudly.

What, I think I remember that guy losing twice in a row back in 2021 was it?? -



Conor Conor's last win was over some unranked duffer at his local -

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Hah dude won’t even make it into the current testing pool this year, now he expects everyone to believe he’s gonna be active? He’s done fighting.
