McGregor's reply can be deemed befitting considering his personal achievements and his contribution to the sport. While it's been more than a year since he's been out of action, 'The Notorious' is unlikely to face any issues returning on his own terms.
McGregor is currently set to make his Hollywood debut in the remake of the '80s classic Road House, starring alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. While the former UFC double champion has kept fans updated with training pictures and videos, there has been no timeline specified for his return.
McGregor's management recently stated that fighting continues to be the Irishman's priority, but further delayed his potential return to next year.

Leon Edwards isn't ruling out a fight against Conor McGregor
While Conor McGregor has been on the sidelines for over a year, there seems to be no dearth of high-caliber opponents willing to face the Irishman.
The Dubliner has expressed an interest in a move up to welterweight, calling out former champion Kamaru Usman earlier this year. With Usman now dethroned, even the new welterweight king Leon Edwards is open to a fight against McGregor.
However, Edwards claims that might be too big for 'The Notorious' as he hasn't faced a natural welterweight before. 'Rocky' said in a recent interview with James English:
"It's a possibility. I'll be too big for him. I'm like a natural welterweight, I don't think Conor's fought like a natural welterweight. Every time he fought at welterweight, it's been like a lightweight going up or he's never been like a welterweight. Yeah, it is a possibility."

Edwards also noted that the fight would be easy to make as both he and Conor McGregor are managed by the same firm, Paradigm Sports.
