Conor McGregor Announces UFC Return with Bold 8-Word Statement Aimed at Khabib

After a long absence from the Octagon, “The Notorious” Conor McGregor has officially confirmed his UFC comeback, sending shockwaves through the MMA world. What truly caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just his return, but the bold, eight-word message he directed at his longtime rival Khabib Nurmagomedov: “I’m back to finish what we started.”

Although Khabib has retired and repeatedly stated he has no plans to return to competition, McGregor’s statement has reignited discussions about their bitter rivalry. Their first clash at UFC 229 in 2018 remains one of the most heated and controversial fights in UFC history, with bad blood both inside and outside the cage.

McGregor has not fought since recovering from a devastating leg injury in 2021, but his return hints at a renewed push to reclaim his spot at the top of the lightweight division. Whether this callout will lure Khabib out of retirement remains uncertain, but one thing is clear — McGregor is back, and he’s not done stirring the pot.
