Conor McGregor expresses frustration at inconsistency inside UFC octagon
Conor McGregor has voiced his frustration with the inconsistency he has experienced inside the octagon.
As he approaches a new stage of his career after facing battles with injuries, McGregor is eager to put an end to the fluctuating nature of his recent career.
Having recently concluded filming for season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter, where he served as a coach against Michael Chandler (whom he is set to face later this year), McGregor shared his aspirations for the future.
In an exclusive interview with the UFC, he expressed his desire for more fights and a consistent run in the octagon:
"What do I hope for in this world? Megan, I hope for a hundred more fights, I hope for consistency, I hope for a run. I have had this on, off, on, off for the last while. And you know, I just want to get this nice consistency going, and I'm hoping that now when I come back..."
Despite his status as one of the most technically gifted MMA fighters of his era, injuries and external factors hampered the Irishman's fighting rhythm inside the cage.
While fans eagerly await McGregor’s return to the Octagon against Michael Chandler, the Irish fighter remains determined to overcome his erratic past and develop a consistent and dynamic fight schedule
