.After nearly five years away from the Octagon, Conor McGregor is once again stirring the pot. The former two-division UFC champion (22-6) took to social media Saturday to declare he’s willing to accept a fight against a “no name” opponent a surprising shift for a fighter long associated with blockbuster matchups.
“It’s a no name up next for me possibly, folks. I ACCEPT. Send the contract, lads.”
The post follows a deleted message earlier in the week in which McGregor claimed he had already been offered a date and opponent and accepted. McGregor has not competed since July 2021, when he suffered a gruesome leg break in his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
