Where there’s smoke, there’s fire?
After months (years?) of radio silence in regards to actually booking a Conor McGregor comeback, there’s an awful lot of noise surrounding the Irish superstar in the last week or so. Top insiders are confident McGregor is fighting at International Fight Week, UFC CEO Dana White may have leaked his return opponent, and Jorge Masvidal is dropping constant hints that he’s being brought back to the UFC for a very specific reason.
Coincidentally, McGregor’s drug test suspension
just ended five days ago.
Safe to say, the rumor mill is churning, and Conor McGregor loves the attention. In a wild social media post, McGregor boldly proclaims that “The rumors are true!” and that “Mr. Confidence returns to save fighting again!” as well as the ultra classic business catchphrase, “F—k you, pay me.”
Check out the whole spiel below:
“The rumours are true! Mr. Confidence returns to save fighting again! Call your grandma! Nanny we did it! Watch and pay me. F—k you pay me. You fat Irish prick you don’t have my money I put your brain to sleep. See ya’s in the Casinos after, the Mac loves yas all, I got love for yas all it’s an honor it’s light work it’s easy.
FOR LIFE AND ETERNITY ITS MCGREGOR!
BIG MONEY MAC DADDY MCGREGOR I EXPECT FAWNING OF THE HIGHEST FOR LIFE.
I DO THIS FIGHT GAME EASY PEEZY THE SOUND OF MY SHOTS OFF THE HEAD GO “BING” in green dot laser form.
Go BHB!Watch divine magic when I fight
Hey @paramountplus see you guys soon I’m so excited!
And Born Ready.
The Notorious
Conor McGregor”
Indeed, McGregor’s potential return couldn’t come at a more opportune time. It’s no secret that the UFC is off to a slow start in 2026, and the UFC White House bout announcements didn’t exactly live up to the enormous hype. With MVP and Netflix looking to break into the MMA market, a monster Mac event is just what the doctor ordered.
Currently, all signs point to an International Fight Week return, but disaster has struck before.
