“ Conor McGregor has told us a lot of things over the last three years. None of them have come true. I’ll have to see it to believe it,” the former champion said in an interview with the American website MMA Junkie.
The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) December 17, 2024
For the former fighter and current commentator, although a confrontation with the YouTuber is an interesting opportunity, the Irishman's return to combat sports needs to be in MMA.
“I think he’s going to fight in the octagon. I think he has to do it. For Conor McGregor – he needs to wash away some of the stench of everything that happened outside the octagon. The place where he lived is inside that cage, and I think at some point he’ll have to go back there,” he continued.
Conor McGregor convicted of rape in Ireland
The 'stench' that Cormier is referring to is, among other issues, the rape conviction that the fighter recently suffered in a civil case. Due to this, the fighter is not at risk of prison and according to Dana White, the case does not seem like it will cause difficulties in his return to the biggest MMA organization in the world.
