Brendan Schaub shares theory explaining Conor McGregor’s delayed UFC return: ‘They’re trying to keep him under wraps’

Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub has an interesting theory as to why Conor McGregor has still not been booked for his return.

McGregor has been rehabbing his broken leg but has been campaigning for a return for quite some time. The Irishman has said he will be returning in June against Michael Chandler, but so far, nothing has been made official. However, according to Schaub, he believes the UFC is holding McGregor out of action so he can’t reach free agency and secure boxing fights on his own.

“There’s more to that story that we’re not getting,” Schaub said, via The Mirror.
