McGregor also mentioned that April would be an ideal time for his return, as he has been training and feeling good.

The UFC and its fans are eagerly awaiting McGregor’s return to the Octagon after his extended absence. McGregor’s impressive career, which includes being the only fighter in UFC history to hold simultaneous titles in two weight classes, has made him a beloved figure in the sport..
