Conor McGregor has been warned that he might want to avoid Mike Tyson's "risky" advice to compete in warm-up fights when he returns from injury.
The Irishman insists that he wants to be straight into welterweight title contention when he comes back to the Octagon, but the legendary former heavyweight champion boxer thinks he should slow it down. Ex-UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, on the other hand, fears that if McGregor were to lose to a lower-ranked opponent, he could struggle to return.
Once a two-division world champion, McGregor has struggled to consistently make fights happen through injuries and coronavirus restrictions. But he is still one of the biggest names in all of combat sport, and has been called out by most of the lightweight and welterweight divisions, meaning he will have his pick of fights when he comes back.
