Conor McGregor is continuing his preparation for a return to competition, which according to rumours is scheduled for International Fight Week. The post provides no additional details about opponent, weight class, or official confirmation of the timing. McGregor has been out of action since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier.
Reports circulating ahead of International Fight Week suggest Conor McGregor is actively training for a comeback, though no official announcement has been made confirming an opponent, weight class, or exact timing.
McGregor, 37, is one of the most recognisable names in combat sports history. The Irishman out of SBG Ireland carries a professional record of 22 wins and 6 losses and has not competed since suffering a leg injury during his July 2021 TKO defeat to Dustin Poirier. A southpaw standing 175 cm tall with a 188 cm reach, McGregor has built his reputation largely on his striking, averaging 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at 49 percent accuracy across his career.
Why it matters
- McGregor's return would be among the most commercially significant fights the UFC could book, regardless of opponent or division
- His weight class remains unconfirmed, leaving open questions about whether he competes at lightweight, welterweight, or elsewhere
- At 37 and with nearly five years away from competition, his ranking status and where he fits in the divisional picture is unclear
- The story remains unverified, and no promotional confirmation has been issued as of the April 15 report
