Conor McGregor airs his frustration on the UFC not being able to set up a fight for him
Conor McGregor has not fought in the octagon since July 2021 after breaking his left leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier. He required surgery for it and had to undergo a long journey of rehabilitation for the broken leg. However, he claims he is now ready to fight, but the UFC has left him hanging by not setting up a fight for him.
He spoke to talkSPORT about the situation:
"Give me something. It was supposed to be April, (and before) it was supposed to be December. ... I'm waiting, I'm waiting and I'm waiting. My patience is wearing thin."
Take a look at the conversation transcribed by MMA Junkie:
The Irishman was linked to Michael Chandler after the pair played the role of coaches for The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). However, the fight that was reportedly signed never turned into reality as Chandler is still waiting on confirmation from the UFC and has been calling out McGregor ever since they finished filming TUF. Now the most probable date for his return seems to be UFC 300.
After all the delay regarding his return to the UFC, the Irishman has now expressed an interest in fighting Manny Pacquiao next.
