"You are nobody now, again" - Conor McGregor and Charles Oliveira go back-and-forth after 'Do Bronx' roasts 'motivation-less' Irishman
Conor McGregor has been out of action since suffering a leg injury during his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. While he was set to make a comeback against Michael Chandler, the fight has been delayed due to a dispute with the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Before returning to competition, the 34-year-old Irishman is required to undergo six months of random drug testing. Unfortunately, McGregor recently missed an important deadline, potentially sidelining him until 2024.
Despite not competing in the past two years, 'The Notorious' recently expressed on Twitter that fighting continues to be his source of motivation:
"Fighting is MOTIVATION! 🔥"
