Conor McGregor claims he will "slice" next opponent as star teases UFC return

Conor McGregor has claimed he will "slice" his next opponent as he eyes a UFC return this year.

The superstar has not fought since breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier in July 2021 but has resumed a lengthy period of rehabilitation to prepare him for his return which is expected this year. He has been showing off a bulky physique and has documented his path to recovery on social media throughout his UFC absence.

Throughout his time out of the Octagon, McGregor has vowed to return to his best and has even promised fans the "greatest comeback ever". In a fresh tweet, the 34-year-old has asked potential rivals to form an orderly queue, tweeting: “I’m going to slice through someone on return. Trust that. And I don’t care who. Line up.”
