Conor McGregor Has Agreed to Step Back into the Octagon

SJ - October 8, 2020

Conor McGregor has had an interesting year so far. The former UFC champion has retired from MMA, gotten engaged, been accused of sexual assault and announced that he's going to box Manny Pacquiao.

Just when you thought he'd never step foot back in the octagon, McGregor announced that he's doing just that. He tweeted out that he has accepted the UFC's offer to fight Dustin Poirier.

McGregor will step into the octagon on one condition. The fight has to take place in 2020.

Hello Dustin! I accepted the @ufc offer to fight you, but told them it must happen in 2020. I’m ready for Nov 21st, given that cards recent injury issues, as well as any of the December dates, the 12th and the 19th. I’ll also still donate the $500k to The Good Fight Foundation 🙏 https://t.co/23hN4AHtoI

There's never a dull moment with Conor McGregor. He's planning to end his 2020 with some fireworks. I wouldn't expect anything else from the highly entertaining Irishman.
