Conor McGregor's coach is certain the UFC star will return to action this year.
Former two-weight champion McGregor, 34, hasn't fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight, which took place over 18 months ago. The UFC has continued to move on without McGregor despite him being the promotion's star attraction, with the Irishman losing his spot in the rankings last month.
'Notorious' hasn't won a fight in over three years as he suffered two defeats to Poirier in 2021, but his coach John Kavanagh has now revealed talks are underway for him to make his return. McGregor's manager Audie Attar was recently in Dublin to discuss McGregor's fighting return as Kavanagh said he is "very confident" that McGregor will fight this year.
