The Notorious is getting impatient, Eager for UFC Return.
Conor McGregor‘s discontentment with the state of his fighting career took centre stage this Saturday. The UFC star passionately spoke out against the organisation, citing a lack of clarity regarding his return to the cage. In an interview with Talk Sport Boxing, McGregor expressed his frustration and claimed unfair treatment by the promotion, underscoring his significant status in MMA.

Running Out of Patience
The ‘Day of Reckoning’ boxing card in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was abuzz with rumors about the Irishman’s return to the Octagon. McGregor, accompanied by football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, enjoyed a front-row seat for the loaded event. As the night unfolded, they were visited by the generous financier, Turki Al-Sheikh, whose financial backing made the entire evening possible.
“For all the figures I’ve brought in this game, I sell more than all of them combined, No one in the history of the fight game has been treated the way I’ve been getting treated at this minute. “From what I came through, to what I bring. “They f****** should open the floodgates for me. “I’m waiting! And my patience is wearing thin on me waiting.”
McGregor told Talk Sport Boxing.
Driven by what he considers mistreatment at the hands of the UFC, 35-year-old Conor McGregor is ready for a return to boxing, a sport he hasn’t engaged in since his debut against Floyd Mayweather six years ago. McGregor’s decision to reenter the boxing scene appears to be a strategic response to his UFC experience, also initiating a matchup with Manny Pacquiao in Saudi Arabia.
