Conor McGregor’s Waning Motivation: A Glimpse into His Struggle
The Challenge of a Delayed Comeback
Conor McGregor, known as “The Notorious” in the UFC realm, has experienced a dip in motivation due to the indefinite postponement of his much-anticipated comeback. His last appearance in the octagon was in 2021 during a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier, which ended in a leg injury for McGregor. Plans for his return against Michael Chandler have been marred by USADA issues and rumored difficult negotiations with UFC, casting doubt on the match’s scheduling.
The Struggle with Uncertainty
McGregor has been vocal about his eagerness to fight, suggesting dates like UFC 300, 301, and 306. However, Dana White, the UFC president, appears uninterested in these proposals, hinting at the complexities of dealing with McGregor’s success and wealth. Amidst this uncertainty, McGregor shared in an interview with TheMacLife how the prolonged break has affected his dedication to training and led him to drink occasionally.
McGregor’s Ventures Beyond Fighting
While sidelined by injury, McGregor has not been idle. He has focused on his business ventures and played a significant role in the remake of the cult classic “Road House” alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, where he portrays the antagonist “Knox”. The film is set to release on March 21.
The Promise of a Return
Both the UFC head and McGregor have assured fans of a comeback this year, though the certainty of a match against Chandler remains in question. Speculation suggests McGregor’s UFC contract has one fight remaining, potentially allowing him to leave the organization if a new agreement isn’t reached before his next bout.

“I had a training camp in Cannes, in the south of France,” McGregor told TheMacLife. “I had a training camp in Dubai where I trained with world champions and was hoping for December, then January. Then it just kept getting postponed and I lose interest and stop training for a while. Not stop training, I always train, but stop training full-time and start drinking a bit again. I will return and start anew.”
