Beneil Dariush has questioned why Conor McGregor has yet to return from the broken leg he suffered 15 months ago.
McGregor suffered the injury in a second consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier last July and has been documenting his rehabilitation in training. The Irishman was forced to have surgery and was initially eyeing a comeback to the octagon later this year but any octagon return will now be delayed until next year.
Setbacks are understood to have occurred during McGregor's comeback schedule which will see him likely return to 170lb after putting on weight during the recovery process. But lightweight contender Beneil Dariush suffered the same injury in February and believes McGregor should have recovered by now.
