McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh said the fighter’s return has been postponed until the summer.
John Kavanagh, coach of Irish mixed martial artist (MMA) Conor McGregor, revealed the athlete’s changed plans for returning to fights. The expert’s words are quoted by The MMA Hour.
“We were hoping for April, that was our hope. We talked about this. And now it looks like plans have moved to the summer,” Kavanagh said. He added that he does not know the reason why the fighter decided to postpone the resumption of his career.
McGregor said in October that he would like to return to the Octagon in April 2024. He fought his last fight in the summer of 2021, losing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to American Dustin Poirier by technical knockout. The Irishman suffered a broken leg, from which he is still recovering.
McGregor, 35, is a former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion. In total, the Irishman has 28 fights, in which he won 22 victories and suffered 6 defeats.
