Conor McGregor was present at the Day of Reckoning event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday where the Irishman stated that he is losing patience with UFC as his comeback was once again delayed.
The last time McGregor was in the octagon was during his fight against Dustin Poirier after which he spent almost two years out of action following a nasty leg break at UFC 264 in July 2021.
He was reported to make a comeback in December in a fight against Michael Chandler this year but the Notorious failed to meet UFC’s policy of six months of mandatory drug testing.
Talking at the grand event in the Gulf country, McGregor urged the UFC to give him something so he can make his comeback in the octagon.
“Get me back in there. Get the Mac back in there.” McGregor told talkSPORT.
“The Mac has loads to offer and loads to deliver. They’re talking Manny (Pacquiao) here in Saudi, the lads in the UFC aren’t really talking anything, the lads here talking Manny the lads in the UFC aren’t really talking anything. So I’m sitting here as usual.
“I’m talking about give me something, I’m supposed to be back in April but it was supposed to be December. “
As he was about to conclude, he questioned UFC’s treatment of him and revealed that he is losing patience with time.
“For all the figures, I’ve brought into this game, I sell more than them all combined, no-one in the history of the fight game has ever been treated the way that I am being treated at this minute.
“They should open floodgates for me and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and I’m waiting. My patience has been wearing thin.”
The MMA icon has lost three of his last four fights. Including back-to-back defeats against Poirier at UFC 257 and 264 and a famous submission defeat against the undefeated UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 on October 7, 2018.
At his peak, McGregor won two UFC titles and impressively knocked out eight opponents. The quickest knockout win of his career came against Jose Aldo in December 2015 when he knocked Aldo out in just 13 seconds.
In his UFC career, the 35-year-old was undefeated in his first seven fights from 2013 to 2015. His first loss came against Nate Diaz at UFC 196 in March 2016.
