Conor McGregor intends to return to the UFC's Octagon with his "confidence high" and is apparently willing to do so against someone other than Khabib Nurmagomedov.
In a rare public comment on social media, McGregor (21-4) said he was beaten "fair and square" by Nurmagomedov on Oct. 6 at UFC 229, but he vowed to return stronger than ever. The Irishman has already called for a rematch against Nurmagomedov, but he said Monday that he would accept another opponent if need be.
"It was a great fight and it was my pleasure," McGregor wrote on Instagram.
