Conor McGregor has been told he can forget about becoming a UFC champion ahead of his eagerly-anticipated return.
McGregor, 34, has promised to make the "greatest comeback in history" as he continues to recover from the broken leg he suffered last July. The former two-weight champion underwent surgery for his injury, having a metal rod fitted in his leg before an intense course of rehabilitation. McGregor was hopeful of fighting before the end of the year, but his return has now been pushed back until 2023.
MMA analyst Chael Sonnen thinks McGregor has no chance of becoming a champion again, and said on his YouTube channel: “ Conor McGregor ’s championship run is over. That’s true. That’s mean. Conor did not come out and tell you guys this, because he’s not aware of it. Get this – the whole world can see what we as the athlete take about two more years to see."
