Conor McGregor Pokes the Bear: Sends Blunt Message to Dana White Over UFC Comeback

Conor McGregor is once again fanning the flames of a UFC return, taking to Instagram to urge Dana White to “get this show started” and tagging TKO Group Holdings in a public bid to re-enter the testing pool. The Irish icon hasn’t fought since his 2021 leg injury against Dustin Poirier, but that hasn’t stopped him from shadowboxing the spotlight—dropping posts during UFC 315 and sharing footage of himself training. Still, fans have grown weary of McGregor’s cycle of hype, with social media replies calling him “all talk” and dismissing the tease as another empty gesture.

Despite the doubt, buzz is building around a potential matchup with Paddy Pimblett, who recently dismantled Michael Chandler at UFC 314. With two fights left on his UFC contract and only one win in his last four outings, McGregor’s window is shrinking. Pundits suggest Pimblett might be the only lightweight left that the aging superstar has a shot against, though even that’s a stretch. If the comeback is real, McGregor will need more than Instagram jabs to prove he's not just chasing ghosts. For now, fans are stuck in a loop: another week, another post, another maybe.
