A couple weeks ago at the UFC Hall of Fame red carpet, lead play-by-play voice Jon Anik said he was “hopeful” for a Conor McGregor return in 2024.
Not only that, but Anik said he expected McGregor to fight a couple times in about eight months once he finally does return. But until then, as long as McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) continues to say on the sidelines in a layoff that now has reached three years, Anik said he’s growing tired of waiting and wondering.
“I’m just exhausted,” Anik told MMA Junkie Radio. “It doesn’t mean I dislike him or I’m hating on him. I’m just exhausted. I guess I’m frustrated – that’s probably the right verb when it comes to some of Conor McGregor’s inactivity. But largely, I think a lot of this has been out of his control. It’s not always easy being the biggest superstar in mixed martial arts. It certainly isn’t easy when you snap your leg in half, and then obviously he had a setback in this most recent training camp.”
