Conor McGregor is continuing his preparation for his octagon return, which according to rumors is planned for International Fight Week. The post provides minimal additional details about McGregor's training or the specifics of his planned comeback. International Fight Week typically takes place in early July around the UFC's annual marquee event in Las Vegas. McGregor has not fought since July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier.
Reports are circulating that Conor McGregor is deep into a training camp aimed at an octagon return during International Fight Week, though no official confirmation has been issued by the UFC or McGregor's team.
McGregor, 37, is one of the most recognizable names in combat sports. The Irishman, who trains out of SBG Ireland, carries a professional record of 22-6-0 and competes as a southpaw with a 74-inch reach at a height of 175 cm. He has historically been one of the more prolific strikers in the promotion, averaging 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at 49 percent accuracy. His last walk to the octagon came in July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier — a layoff that has now stretched nearly five years.
Why it matters
- A McGregor return during International Fight Week would represent one of the most anticipated comebacks in recent UFC history given the length of his absence.
- At 37, with a record of 22-6-0, questions around his divisional standing and ranking status would come into focus the moment a fight is made official.
- His style — high-volume southpaw striking with limited reliance on the grappling game — would shape any matchup conversation around a confirmed opponent.
- Because this remains an unconfirmed report, the timing, opponent, and weight class are all still unknown quantities.
