Conor McGregor hints at middleweight move after years of teasing returns

Conor McGregor has hinted that he is planning to compete at middleweight, posting comments on social media about the division. The post notes that McGregor has been making various comeback hints for approximately five years without materializing them. McGregor has not fought since his leg injury loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. The former two-division champion continues to generate speculation about his return despite no concrete plans being confirmed. If he does compete at middleweight, it would mark a move up from his previous fighting weights of featherweight and lightweight.
