UFC star doubts Conor McGregor's motivation to return after injury as he's 'always on the yacht'

UFC star Sean O'Malley has questioned whether Conor McGregor has the dedication to make a comeback after his leg break.

McGregor, 34, hasn't fought since suffering the major injury against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight last July. The Irishman plans to make his UFC return after filming for his Hollywood debut in a remake of Road House, as he is set to fly to the Dominican Republic in the coming weeks for his role in the showpiece.

By the time McGregor makes his UFC return, three years would have passed since his last win. The former two-weight champion remains the biggest star in the sport despite his inactivity, but O'Malley thinks the amount of money McGregor is making outside of the Octagon could cast doubt on his fighting future.
