Former two-division champion, Conor McGregor has claimed his return to the UFC is “loading” once more amid links to a comeback fight at UFC 310 before the end of the year in December, in a rescheduled fight against former title challenger, Michael Chandler.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight titleholder, has been sidelined for the last three years from the Octagon, most recently headlining UFC 264.
And slated to return at the end of last month in a UFC 303 headliner against the above-mentioned, Chandler, former champion, McGregor was sidelined once more through injury – citing a fractured toe on his left foot which forced his exit from the International Fight Week card.
And hitting out at former-foe, Dustin Poirier following his withdrawal from UFC 303 amid his injury, McGregor claimed the Lafayette striker and his wife, Jolie Poirier were running a “scam” in the form of their Good Fight Foundation charitable organization.
“Scammers, him and his wife,” Conor McGregor posted on his official X account in a series of now-deleted comments. “Scammers. Buy the shorts that he quit in the most important fight of his life. Scammers, him and his wife. Scammers. Broke scammer alert.”
