Conor McGregor, the Irishman whose trash talk rivals his famed left straight, has once again stirred the waters! While the MMA sphere has been waiting for his return to the Octagon since 2021, UFC CEO Dana White recently proclaimed, “Conor McGregor will fight next year, early 2025”. But it seems like the Irish MMA icon has other plans he might consider.
In a recent post shared on Instagram by DAZN Boxing, McGregor was pictured sitting next to a boxing ring with gloves on. The post had the caption, “Who would you like to see @thenotoriousmma face next?!” And in the comments section, the combat sports superstar himself proclaimed, “I walk around and NO ONE CAN CHECK ME.”
While his recent Octagon absence may have disappointed some fans, the mere hint of McGregor in the ring has fans buzzing. Since his famous bout with Floyd Mayweather in 2017, the Irishman’s boxing ambitions have been the subject of endless speculation. After all, the massive crossover event drew in 4.3 million domestic buys according to information released by Showtime, setting the record for the 2nd highest buy rate in PPV history!
But who would ‘The Notorious’ face in the squared circle if he decides to venture into boxing once again? Could it be Manny Pacquiao, Jake Paul, or someone else? Here’s a look at what the netizens had to say.
