Most recently, the former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping gave his thoughts on how McGregor should navigate his imminent return to the sport whilst speaking on his Believe You Me Podcast.
In case you didn’t know…
McGregor has been absent from mixed martial arts since he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 last year.
Since then there seems to have been a never-ending stream of rumours and speculation as to what Conor’s next move will be as he looks to get a much-needed win under his belt.
The heart of the matter
There is no secret to the fact that McGregor is heavily motivated by money and it seems unlikely that he will come back to combat sports without a significant financial incentive.
Of the offers that will likely be put forward to McGregor and his team, a rematch with Jose Aldo would probably offer the lowest financial gain compared to potential rematches with Khabib or Nate Diaz.
What’s next?
Any announcements surrounding McGregor’s return are likely to be on hold until the lightweight division has found some order. Khabib, meanwhile, will defend his belt against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 next month.
