CON JOB

McGregor must focus on new role

- GARY HITCHCOCK

CONOR McGREGOR is the undisputed king of self-promotion – but maybe it is time he looked after the former by concentrating on the latter.As a fighter, 'The Notorious' remains under contract to the UFC, with two bouts left on his deal.

However, while a November octagon return has been mooted, a UFC comeback for McGregor increasingly looks unlikely, having last stepped in the cage in July 2021 when breaking a leg against Dustin Poirier.
