Conor McGregor relates with Alexander Volkanovski's comments about inactivity
Alexander Volkanovski recently lost to Islam Makhachev in a brutal fashion and after the fight, he spoke about how inactivity could take a huge mental toll on fighters. Conor McGregor, who has not been inside the octagon in over two years, is itching to get back into action. In a recent interview with Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie, he said he related to Volkanovski's comments:
"I'm open, March is earlier than April. I have been kept from my living for almost three years now, understand that. I came through what I came through, I'm sitting on an injury and a loss, you heard what Alexander Volkanovski said, I relate. You know what I'm saying? I must return to my way of living. This is my job, so it's beyond frustrating."
Take a look at the interview:
Conor McGregor can not wait to get back into the ring despite suffering two back-to-back losses in his last two fights. The Irishman is frustrated to not have the opportunity to bounce back from his loss and show fans and the division that he is still a threat.
