Conor McGregor's manager explains why he has not returned to the ring yet
Conor McGregor's manager, Audie Attar, has spoken about why the Irishman has not rushed back to the ring. It has been over a year since 'The Notorious' stepped into the octagon.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, his manager explained the decision:
"If he never wanted to come back again, that doesn't say anything right? He's accomplished what 99.99% of the athletes in this sport will never accomplish. That's just the hard cold facts. For him, the one thing I try to keep reiterating is, 'Do it on your timeline.' And he knows that, but sometimes you just need your team to remind you what you know."
Conor McGregor has registered only one win in his last four fights and has lost his dominance in the ring. He has now bulked up and put a lot of muscle mass on his body. Fans are excited to see him return to the octagon.
