\nOpinions are mixed regarding in the Brazilian MMA community
\nregarding Conor McGregor’s return. | Bellator MMA<\/b><\/p>\n

Among the most debated topics in the MMA community today is the Away from MMA since 2021, when he was injured in a fight with Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u00b4s a no name up next to me possibly, folks. And, as you know Interestingly, Fighting Nerds coach Flavio “Something very, very big is coming for him and it will be Since Spanish journalist Alvaro Colmenero had already reported that Then Carlos The post further fueled fans’ curiosity, and the possibility of According to journalist Renato Rebello from the Sixth Round “First he asked for Chandler, then Ige,\u201d Rebellos said. \u201cAfter “The reality is that in the new system, the UFC no longer depends Gilbert \u201cThere’s no way to fight against the system,\u201d Burns said. \u201cNot
\nreturn of the biggest star in the history of the sport, Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nDustin
\nPoirier<\/a> at UFC 264, McGregor left many people curious last week
\nwhen he made an enigmatic post on his X account suggesting that his
\nopponent at the White House will be an unknown. <\/p>\n
\nidgaf, I ACCEPT. Send the contract, lads,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\nAlvaro<\/a> had said in an exclusive interview with Sherdog days
\nbefore that fans could expect a huge fight for Prates.<\/p>\n
\nannounced soon, unfortunately I’m not yet authorized to say
\nanything,” said Alvaro.<\/p>\n
\nIan
\nGarry<\/a> would be the next to fight for the belt against Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a>, the statement further piqued the fans’
\ncuriosity.<\/p>\n
\nPrates<\/a> posted on his X account: “I was told the offer is in
\nyour hands. The fans are waiting, I’m waiting\u2026 Are we doing this or
\njust playing around? Let’s give the fight of the year, sign this
\ncontract, man.”<\/p>\n
\nPrates facing McGregor became the subject of several videos
\npublished on major Brazilian channels.<\/p>\n
\nYoutube channel, when McGregor discovered that the
\nUFC<\/a> was no longer interested in his fight with Michael
\nChandler<\/a>, he reportedly asked for Dan Ige<\/a>.
\nAccording to one of his reliable sources, the UFC allegedly refused
\nand offered him an elite welterweight. In the journalist’s opinion,
\nthe chance of McGregor accepting is zero.<\/p>\nVarying Opinions<\/h2>\n
\nfive years of inactivity, it makes no sense for him to fight
\nPrates. The best striker in the division above, five years younger,
\nmuch bigger, and at his physical and technical peak?<\/p>\n
\non McGregor and pay-per-view sales. In the past, a pay-per-view
\ndriven by the Irishman made a difference in the company’s cash flow
\nat the end of the year, but not anymore. Every negotiation is won
\nby whoever cares less, and in this case, it’s clearly the UFC,
\nwhich will have the highest cost in its history putting on this
\nWhite House card. If he wants to fight on this card, he will have
\nto compromise, both on the astronomical purse and the opponent
\nchoice. Since I don’t see Conor’s ego allowing this, I stand by my
\nprediction. I don’t see Conor returning to fight in the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBurns<\/a>, on the other hand, did a video on his channel saying
\nthat the UFC fight offer made sense.<\/p>\n
\neven Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a> can do it. This passing of the baton is part of the
\nsport. The UFC likes Prates, he has charisma. I see Prates beating
\nMcGregor and then fighting for the belt in a mega fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
