The rumours of the return of Conor McGregor is finally getting more paced. The fighter has been out of the sport for a year now after suffering a nasty leg injury. Now that McGregor has been posting his training clips in the gym, fans are expecting him to return soon.
McGregor is the biggest draw in the UFC and everybody wants to fight him for that thick fight purse. Recently, top lightweight fighters Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira called out McGregor for a fight. McGregor is surely the fighter who can come in at any point and snatch the biggest opportunity due to his massive fan following.
The speculations around Mcgregor’s return are increasing as well as the excitement of the fight fans. It will surely be one of the biggest comebacks in recent UFC history.
Mike Tyson suggests Conor McGregor to first get a couple of non title fights
Tyson recently joined Henry Cejudo for an interview in the ‘Relevnt App’ and during the conversation, Cejudo talked about McGregor’s return.
When asked about who would be the ideal opponent for McGregor to make his comeback, Tyson was clear in his mind and shared his opinions. According to Tyson, the ‘ Notorious’ should take on other fighters in order to bring the confidence and then fight for the title with Oliviera. Tyson revealed that Ferguson is a good choice but it is a tough fight for McGregor.
Tyson said:
“He should do a couple of fights to get his feet wet, yes. Well, Conor I think you should build your confidence up and go do what you do, win excitingly.” When asked about Ferguson being the Contender for Mcgregor’s return, Tyson continued ” Woah! That’s a tough fight man..he makes exciting fights,it’s hard to beat that guy…let him(McGregor) three fights that builds confidence back up. Every Fight, the opponent goes to a higher level.”
Although it seems like a good idea given that McGregor is currently in a very bad form, it’s hard to imagine McGregor doing that. The fighter is not known for fighting anybody randomly if there is not something big in the line. It can be a title or a huge amount of money. On top of that, fighting three fights before the title shot will take a lot of time.
