You can never worry about that type of stuff. People come in here, they achieve great things, and they retire. For the last 20 years everybody said, ‘Oh my God, what are you guys going to do when Chuck Liddell retires? You guys are f*****. “We have a massive roster of people that want to come in and people that are ready to fight and people that want to be Conor McGregor, and be at that level. However, McGregor does seem to want to return, recently releasing a four-part miniseries on Netflix title McGregor Forever which details his last few fights and his road to a return following his injury.īut if McGregor changes his mind, if something gets in the way, or if the USADA barrier simply proves to be too high for one reason or another, Dana White isn’t that fussed over it. “Notorious” topped the Forbes list of highest-paid athletes in 2021 following the sale of his Proper No. McGregor certainly does not need to fight ever again.

McGregor has not competed since snapping his leg against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight at UFC 264, however, the former two-division champion did return to the UFC earlier this year to coach The Ultimate Fighter opposite Michael Chandler, with the two of them intending to face off at some point in the future.
