Conor McGregor posts concerning cryptic message asking to be free amidst inactivity

Publish date: 2024-07-05

It has been a long time since the world has witnessed ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor fight. As days passed, everyone grew concerned about his return to the octagon. However, the Irishman stays active on his social media handles. Recently, Conor McGregor posted a training video with a cryptic message that has left everyone wondering what it is about.

There can be several speculations that can be made after seeing that post. UFC CEO Dana White not announcing his fight against Michael Chandler might be one. In the context of the McGregor vs. Chandler saga, White recently acknowledged the Irishman’s wish to fight in December. As of now, the UFC CEO hasn’t come up with the announcement yet, and Conor McGregor posted a cryptic message.

Interestingly this is not the first time the Notorious seemed displeased with the UFC bossman. In one such instance, when Conor McGregor was ready to make his return in early 2024, White constantly pushed his return back. Even former UFC star Nate Diaz came into McGregor’s support in that matter. Not only that, the Stockton native also asked UFC to release the Irishman from his obligations with the promotion.

Although he was set to fight Chandler at UFC 303, he had to withdraw due to an injury. This last-minute withdrawal might have affected the event, but Alex Pereira stepped in and saved the fight card. Interestingly, this could be why Dana White is taking his time to announce McGregor’s next fight. It’s possible that the UFC CEO wants McGregor to fully recover before confirming his next bout.

Conor McGregor’s career in the UFC has been nothing short of legendary. It has been more than a decade since his debut at the promotion. Interestingly, with time, the Irishman became exceptionally better in his overall growth as an individual. However, his recent fight record has been quite disappointing, as the Notorious had consecutive defeats in his last fights against Dustin Poirier.

Amidst his recent disappointment in his fighting career, the Irishman took a moment away to enjoy his sister’s wedding. Conor McGregor’s sister, Erin McGregor, recently tied the knot with an Irish Musician, Terry Kavanagh, in a town called Tipperary in Ireland. The Notorious had a great time with his friends and families, far away from the fight world.

In his recent cryptic social media post, McGregor’s intentions are shrouded in uncertainty. It’s unclear whether the post pertains to his dissatisfaction with Dana White or if it alludes to something else entirely. Interestingly, the Irishman also posted a related tweet on his X handle (@TheNotoriousMMA), where he wrote ‘When I get free.
