UFC star Conor McGregor has teased the possibility of an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast at some point in the future. As we know, Conor McGregor is a pretty controversial figure in the world of mixed martial arts. He’s been at the very top of the sport, and he’s experienced some pretty dramatic lows. At this point, it’s been nearly four years since we’ve seen the Irishman compete in the Octagon, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.

UFC star Paddy Pimblett has laid out a plan that involves him going up against Conor McGregor at some point in the future. As we know, Paddy Pimblett is a pretty eccentric figure. He is one of the biggest names in all of mixed martial arts, and while some people may not like it, the Liverpudlian is currently unbeaten in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. At UFC 314, however, he’ll face his toughest test to date when he locks horns with Michael Chandler in a blockbuster lightweight collision.

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier has mixed feelings on Conor McGregor’s return. ‘The Notorious’ hasn’t been seen in the cage in over three years now. Conor McGregor last appeared in the cage in July 2021, for his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. The bout took place just a few months after ‘The Diamond’ handed the Irishman a knockout loss, and the former UFC champion was eager to get his revenge.

UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler wouldn’t bet on Conor McGregor fighting again. ‘Iron’ hasn’t been seen in the cage since a rematch with Charles Oliveira in November. Ending a two-year layoff, Michael Chandler was handed a second loss by ‘Do Bronx’, this time by unanimous decision. The defeat was a brutal one for the former Bellator star, who famously sat on the sidelines for years trying to secure a fight with Conor McGregor.

Controversial UFC star Conor McGregor is set to file an official appeal over the verdict in his sexual assault civil case. Last year, Conor McGregor was taken to civil court by Nikita Hand, a woman who accused him of sexual assault. She won her claim for damages, with a jury finding that he did, in fact, assault her in a Dublin hotel back in December 2018. He was then ordered to pay her more than €248,000 in damages. In addition, he was ordered to pay the costs of her taking the civil action against him.

UFC star Michael Chandler has given his thoughts on Conor McGregor teasing a fight in BKFC once again. Conor McGregor is one of the most unpredictable fighters in the world. We aren’t referring to his actual fighting ability, either. For whatever reason, he continues to be embroiled in controversy, both in and out of the combat sports world. Because of that, many don’t actually believe he’s going to fight again, especially for the UFC. Alas, the man himself seems to think that he’s got another run in him at some point in the future.

Conor McGregor is teasing MMA legend Fedor Emeliananeko possibly entering the world of BKFC. McGregor has been hyping up the bare knuckle promotion ever since becoming a minority stake owner. The “Notorious” one has made some bold claims, even vowing to compete under the BKFC banner some day. While many believe it’s far-fetched to think that the Irishman will ever knuckle up, perhaps “The Last Emperor” is more likely to throw down in BKFC.

Conor McGregor insists he will end up fighting under the BKFC banner. McGregor is currently tied to a deal with the UFC, but he does have minority ownership stake in BKFC.

Paul Hughes isn’t interested in a war of words with Conor McGregor, but he feels his fellow Irishman has lost his way. Ahead of Hughes’ big Bellator lightweight title fight against Usman Nurmagomedov, McGregor showed his support for “Big News.” Hughes even offered McGregor to serve as a cornerman for the fight, but it didn’t materialize. Hughes ended up putting forth an elite effort that just barely fell short of a world title. He lost the highly competitive championship bout via majority decision.

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has found himself in hot water once again. ‘The Notorious’ is going on nearly four years out of the cage. Conor McGregor was last seen in the cage at UFC 264 in July 2021, in a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier. That night saw the Irishman break his leg in the final seconds of the first round, in a brutal sight. While McGregor promised to make a return by the end of 2022, that failed to come to fruition.

Logan Paul has shared his side of his recent run-in with former UFC champion Conor McGregor. It’s not exactly a secret that ‘The Maverick’ and ‘The Notorious’ were in discussions to fight later this year. Just a few weeks after Conor McGregor was found liable for sexually assaulting a woman in 2018, he revealed plans for an exhibition boxing match with Logan Paul. Reports later confirmed talks between the two, for an April bout in India that would net each man upwards of $250 million.

A former world champion has given their opinion on when Conor McGregor’s career trajectory shifted. Over the course of the last few years, the public perception of Conor McGregor has shifted quite dramatically.

Conor McGregor has fired perhaps his most nasty dig towards Khabib Nurmagomedov yet. McGregor and Nurmagomedov have been at odds for years. Fight fans still haven’t forgotten a UFC media day incident back in 2018 when McGregor hurled a dolly at a fighter bus that “The Eagle” was in. Despite the fact that Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor in their UFC 229 clash, the “Notorious” one continues to blast Khabib and his team.

Conor McGregor is not happy with Paul Hughes after his recent comments. Hughes is a fellow Irishman who was fighting Usman Nurmagomedov for the Bellator lightweight title.

However, with Conor’s sexual assault trial onongoing, Hughes opted not to have the former UFC champ-champ in his corner.

UFC fighter Conor McGregor seems to be doubling down on the insults he has thrown in the direction of Paul Hughes. Over the course of the last few months, Conor McGregor has been as unpredictable as ever. He continues to keep people guessing and we’re not so sure that’s a good thing. His actions have been erratic, to say the least, in the wake of him losing his civil sexual assault case. In the eyes of the public, the general public opinion towards him has certainly shifted in an unfavourable way.

The event heavily played into the Dagestan vs. Ireland rivalry, given the champion’s relation to former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

BKFC boss David Feldman isn’t holding out hope that the UFC will loan Conor McGregor to his bare-knuckle fight promotion, but he figures there’s no harm in asking. The former two-division UFC champ McGregor, who still has two fights left on his contract with the MMA promotion, recently became a part-owner of BKFC, and has been a recurring presence at its recent events.

Harry Kettle - January 27, 2025

Conor McGregor has bragged about the success of BKFC KnuckleMania V, which went down last week in Philadelphia. It’s safe to say that Conor McGregor’s stock within the mixed martial arts community has dropped dramatically. From some of his actions to his inactivity in the cage, it’s been a long time since he’s been viewed as a positive figure in the sport by the majority of fans and pundits.
