While fans may be accustomed to seeing Conor McGregor outside the Octagon more often than it in recent years, ex-UFC star, Chael Sonnen has claimed during the Dubliner’s fighting prime, he has a real argument as the best fighter to ever compete in mixed martial arts.
McGregor, a former two-weight champion under the banner of the UFC, has yet to make his return to action since he fractured his left tibia and fibula over three years ago in a first doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat to bitter rival, Dustin Poirier.
And planning a return to action next year, McGregor ruled himself from a slated UFC 303 headliner with Michael Chandler at the welterweight limit back in June after fracturing a toe just weeks from the pairing, however, has an ideal opponent in mind for a new year comeback.
