Conor McGregor’s UFC Return: Will He Return in January 2020?
While it was suspected that McGregor would make his much-awaited comeback in December 2019, it appears that this plan has been put on hold for a while. Conor McGregor is all set to appear on a Japanese TV show where he would be competing with boxing rival Floyd ‘the money’ Mayweather and other Japanese athletes.
Hence, we expect his return to now take place in January 2020, but that’s also given the condition that the match between Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov does not take place then! If that happens, we expect a delay of another month.

Conor McGregor to Face Dustin Poirier Upon Return?
This fight is writing itself! The tweets say it all. These are two men who have faced each other before and while McGregor won the match very easily back then, Poirier is a different man now – and a much-evolved fighter too. It will be interesting to see how the McGregor vs Poirier II fight turns out to be if it happens!
