Conor McGregor has been told to consider retiring from fighting if he loses his UFC comeback fight against Michael Chandler.
Former two-weight champion McGregor, 34, will look for his first UFC win in over three years when he faces Chandler later this year after coaching against him on The Ultimate Fighter. The Irishman travels to Las Vegas today to begin filming for the UFC's reality TV show and the series airs from May to August, with McGregor and Chandler expected to fight after that.
'Notorious' hasn't fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in their July 2021 trilogy fight at UFC 264. Two years would have passed by the time he returns to the octagon, marking the longest hiatus of his fighting career. McGregor's inactivity accompanied by his past few losses has led to UFC veteran Matt Brown to believe that retirement could be an option for the Irishman if he loses to Chandler.
