Consistency is the key word for Conor McGregor in 2023 and the remainder of his fight career as he gears up for a return to the UFC.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC), a former two-division UFC champion, hasn’t fought since suffering a broken leg in a first-round TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in their trilogy bout in July 2021. His highly anticipated comeback is looming, though, because McGregor is nearly finished filming Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter” opposite Michael Chandler ahead of an expected matchup later this year.
Inactivity has been a notable part of McGregor’s story since he captured a second UFC title more than six years ago. He’s fought just four times since November 2016, not including a high-profile boxing match with Floyd Mayweather that provided plenty of financial incentive to take time off.
