In a recent interview with TMZ, McGregor teased that an announcement would be coming soon while celebrating his son’s birthday in Los Angeles.

Despite being sidelined since 2021 and losing back-to-back fights to Poirier, McGregor is confident he can reach the heights he once did in the sport. Motivations seem to be at an all-time high for the 34-year-old, who recently expressed his desire to surpass Derrick Lewis and Matt Brown’s record for most knockouts in UFC history. Brown and Lewis are tied at 13-knockouts, while McGregor currently has eight.

Matt Brown, at 42 years of age, now holds the joint highest KO’s inside the UFC with 13KO’s. Him and “The Beast” Lewis are tied. I hold 8 KO’s inside the UFC currently, at 34 years of age.
I’m getting this record.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 14, 2023
“Just get back to it,” McGregor said when asked how he’d break the UFC knockout record. “I’ve only got five KOs to go, so I’m almost there already. … I’ll see you soon.”
Although consistency being Chandler’s downfall lately, he still remains a dangerous threat in all areas, as advertised during his short time in the UFC. The former Bellator champion has pulled off highlight reel finishes over Dan Hooker and Tony Ferguson. While falling short against Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje, and Dustin Poirier.
