15 years after borrowing a measly £60 pounds to pay for plumbing tools and equipment to help with a faltering plumbers apprenticeship, Conor McGregor has paid in full his loan to a prior friend — amid continued speculation regarding his return to the Octagon.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and a featherweight titleholder, has been out of action since he headlined UFC 264 back in 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.
And forced from a return to action three years into his lengthy hiatus, former two-division champion, McGregor fractured a toe on the same foot as his prior leg injury just two weeks out from a welterweight weight class move in a UFC 303 return against Michael Chandler at the end of June during International Fight Week.
