Conor McGregor is currently on a two-fight skid after back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier in their rematch and trilogy in January 2021 and July 2021, but he is unquestionably UFC and MMA’s pay-per-view king because of his entertaining personality backed by elite skills. The former two-division UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion is always a top name in MMA odds and often a favorite in UFC betting.
But when will we see the Irish MMA superstar back in action? And who are the opponents linked to welcome him back in his highly-anticipated return inside the Octagon?
When is Conor McGregor’s Next Fight?
Conor McGregor is now fully recovered from the broken left fibula and tibia injury he suffered in his last fight against Dustin Poirier, which prompted a premature end to the fight due doctor’s stoppage. The “Notorious” has openly stated in his social media accounts that he intends to be back in 2023 to headline another pay-per-view event.
A line of fighters from the lightweight and welterweight divisions have expressed their desire to be his opponent in his return fight, but there is no frontrunner on who he will be fighting next, and there is yet to be a target date for his next bout.
