Digest of the Article in the Distinctive Voice of Matthew McConaughey
Conor McGregor's highly anticipated return to the UFC octagon may never happen, as a UFC lightweight claims that the Irish superstar is currently experiencing a mid-life crisis that will derail his comeback.
McGregor's Long Absence and Party Lifestyle
It has been over two years since McGregor last fought in the octagon, when he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier. Since then, he has been absent from the USADA drug testing pool and has been known for his partying ways. This has overshadowed his scheduled comeback fight against Michael Chandler.
Grant Dawson's Doubts
Grant Dawson, a fellow lightweight ranked No.10, doesn't believe that McGregor will actually fight again. He believes that McGregor is going through a mid-life crisis and is questioning his purpose in life.
Dawson said, "Conor used to have a purpose, and I believe Conor doesn't have a purpose anymore, and that's why his life is kind of going to s***."
Finding Purpose Outside of MMA
Dawson suggests that McGregor needs to find a purpose outside of MMA if he wants to be happy. He claims that McGregor's indecisiveness and bouncing between different potential fights and retirement announcements is a result of not knowing what he wants to do.
Delay in Return
McGregor's fight with Chandler was originally scheduled for this year but has been pushed back to 2024 due to his absence from the USADA pool. McGregor hinted on social media that he is back in the pool and ready to fight.
