McGregor has been unable to fight due to a broken leg from a match in July 2021. He’s been in Dublin training for his comeback to the welterweight division of the UFC. The fighter is known for being the first to have titles in the featherweight and lightweight divisions at the same time. However, his career had been dwindling over the last couple of years, with his last victory taking place in 2016.
As for his legal issues, McGregor will return to court on June 23. He faces possible jail time, which could interfere with his future UFC plans.
