Ex-Champion Conor McGregor touted to look ‘Great’ in UFC return next year: ‘I think he’s going to be motivated’

Despite a long period of inactivity throughout the last couple of years, former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has been backed to look “great” in his expected return to the Octagon next year by former middleweight champion, Michael Bisping, who predicts the Dubliner will be more than motivated to land a victory.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss against Dustin Poirier in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.
