English UFC athlete Tom Aspinall was told off by Conor McGregor to not say anything about him, and Aspinall respectfully agreed. Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in MMA history having blockbuster matches in the UFC and boxing. Aspinall currently holds the interim UFC heavyweight championship.

Tom Aspinall and Conor McGregor

In a 2023 interview, England’s Aspinall said that he was over the Conor McGregor hype train. The Irish athlete ‘Notorious’ quickly took to Twitter and had some words for the English fighter. McGregor said, “Say sayonara to that gk deal kid. Starve you and kill you I will you f*cking disrespectful pr*ck. Don’t ever speak my name in disrespect again. Mush potato head.”

Recently in an interview, Aspinall was asked for comment about the situation. He explained, “Listen, Conor told me not to speak about him anymore. So, I’m going to respect that. I don’t want — he’s a scary guy … He’s giving out threats, so I’m going to back off. I ain’t going to talk about it no more if that’s the case. There’s no history. I’ve never talked to him before. We don’t have any mutual friends or nothing like that … I mean, he’s not wrong. I do look a bit like Mr. Potato Head. I think that’s pretty hilarious. He’s not wrong.”

Tom Aspinall will be looking to defend his interim heavyweight title at UFC 304 against Curtis Blaydes, live from Machester, England, on July 27. While it has been long-rumoured and speculated about, Conor McGregor has been on and off for fighting Michael Chandler. But, as of now, there is no fight date made official. The two fighters just came off of a season coaching against one another on The Ultimate Fighter. Fans are excited for the return of the former two-division king ‘Notorious.’

Conor McGregor was on top of the MMA world by becoming the first UFC double champion in 2016. Instead of defending his titles, he boxed Floyd Mayweather in August 2017 and his returns to the Octagon since then haven’t been too pleasing for the fans.

“The Notorious” lost decisively to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. After a long break, he knocked out Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds to register KO wins in three UFC weight classes.

McGregor hasn’t entered the Octagon since losing to Dustin Poirier twice in 2021. With no confirmation regarding the rescheduling of the Michael Chandler fight, here’s whether McGregor has retired…

Has Conor McGregor Retired From The UFC?

No, McGregor hasn’t retired from the UFC. He’s repeatedly reacted positively to his return to the Octagon and reports suggest he’ll fight Chandler towards the end of 2024. The matchup will most likely be a part of UFC 310.

Having said that, “Mystic Mac” has a long history of shocking fans with retirement posts on his socials. Such announcements are believable because the Irishman has made a fortune over the years. Even Dana White claims that the former UFC double champ has no compulsion to risk his health fighting again.

For now, though, McGregor is adamant about fighting Chandler before the end of 2024.

Does Conor McGregor Still Have A UFC Contract?

Yes, McGregor still has a UFC contract. In a BKFC event held on July 18, 2024, he claimed to have two fights remaining on his contract.

The Dubliner’s current contract was signed ahead of his fight with Nurmagomedov with a five-year expiration date. Things have been rather complicated as he dropped out of the USADA testing pool temporarily during this period.

Regardless, fans can look forward to seeing him fight in the Octagon at least twice.

Conor McGregor Sheds Light On His Plans Post UFC Retirement

McGregor is now a part-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, and he’s eager to fight for the promotion after completing the last two fights in his UFC contract.

“It’s money in the bank. So, you know, for me, I have a bit of business left with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, two fights left in my contract. But, for sure, we got three lightweights up here. And yeah, I have my eyes on all of this. I’m not up here just as an owner, I’ll play a manager, you know.”

Chael Sonnen Talks Conor McGregor’s Injury: “Little bit of a miss”

Conor McGregor provides update on UFC return fight injury the foot is fully healed

Chael Sonnen has doubts over Conor McGregor’s injury.

McGregor was set to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 on June 29 against Michael Chandler in a highly-anticipated bout. However, the Irishman was forced to withdraw from the bout due to a broken pinky toe which many fans criticized him for.

The injury didn’t seem that serious to withdraw from a fight and UFC analyst Chael Sonnen has some legitimacy concerns over the injury.

“I’m looking out for his version of a discolored pinky toe that may or may not be broken,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel, via MMANews. “It wouldn’t explain the absence of a press conference, and that’s where you get jammed up. Where was it? Where could you have been that precluded you from coming to a press conference? You don’t have to drive yourself.

“You start running out of options, and so when you go with a discolored pinky toe that may or may not belong to you and may or may not be broken, I’m just wondering, in hindsight, do you look back on that and think it was a little bit of a miss because we’re not owed an explanation?,” Sonnen added.

Even though McGregor shared a photo of the injury, Sonnen still doesn’t think the injury is legit.

Conor McGregor plans to return later this year

Although Conor McGregor had to pull out of his UFC 303 fight against Michael Chandler due to an injury, the Irishman is confident he will return later this year.

“I’m just looking forward to getting back into the Octagon, handling my business with the Ultimate Fighting Championship and seeing what the future holds,” Conor McGregor said (via ABCNews).

Although McGregor says he will return later this year, the fight against Chandler is not booked, and when it will happen is unclear.

But, the Irishman is adamant he will fight again this year which is the first time he fights since breaking his leg in the trilogy match against Dustin Poirier.

Jake Paul wants 'Tougher challenge' than Conor McGregor

Amid their recent squabble across social media, outspoken professional boxing star Jake Paul has now claimed that he wants to eventually take on a “tougher challenge” than former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor.

Paul, who improved to 10-1 as a professional over the course of last weekend in Florida, landing a sixth round knockout win over former UFC welterweight contender, Mike Perry in their professional boxing grudge fight.

And with his tenth boxing win in tow, Paul shocked the audience and fans online alike – staking his claim for a matchup with undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira – appearing to fancy his chances in a boxing matchup with the Brazilian knockout star.

“I want everybody, I love this sport and he’s (Alex Pereira) tweeted about wanting to go into boxing,” Jake Paul said after his win over Mike Perry. “We got him on a Facetime right there in the ring and I said, ‘Yo, can you get out of your [UFC] contract?’”

“That’s too big of a risk if I can embarrass his (Dana White’s) number one praised fighter right now,” Jake Paul explained. “But I want all the smoke, I want all the MMA guys, and I’ve beaten all of them – who’s next? He’s the king right now of the UFC so I want him, I’m going to decapitate him and dethrone him.”

Jake Paul calls for “tougher” fight than Conor McGregor

Receiving stark accusations of steroid use from the above-mentioned, McGregor – who also questioned why his advisor and business partner, Nakisa Badarian limited Paul from fighting in Las Vegas, the latter has now labelled a previously clamored-for fight with the Dubliner as not tough enough.

“The guy’s on Twitter, the guy’s on yachts but the guy’s not in the ring winning fights like me,” Jake Paul said on his podcast. “He won’t fight me, I’ve said it since a long time ago. Conor McGregor is owned by Dana White, he probably can’t get out of his contract but that’s what he will hide behind because he’s not going to get in there. All the sh*t talk but he won’t put it on the line, and I want a tougher challenge than McGregor, f*ck McGregor, I want Alex Pereira, the light-heavyweight champion.

“Everyone says everything about the weight difference but I was 212lb in the ring, so that’s a 10lb difference which is common in boxing. Alex Pereira rehydrates to 240lb so I want someone who, when I f*ck them up like I did tonight, there are no excuses. Alex Pereira is six foot four, 240lb, kickboxing world champion, two division champion in UFC and when i beat him what the f*** can they say? Keep writing me off, that’s what people have done in every facet of my life since I was eight years old. I can’t be stopped.”

The feud between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov will never come to an end, especially as far as the Irishman is concerned.

You never have to wait too long for “The Notorious” to make more comments about “The Eagle” retiring or being scared of having a real fight.

However, in recent times, McGregor hasn’t needed much additional ammunition because of the news regarding Nurmagomedov’s on-going issues with the Federal Tax Service.

Mash.ru initially reported that the former UFC lightweight champion owed roughly $3.5 million in unpaid taxes to the Russian government.

The issues seem to stem from what was described as “uncovered irregularities in documents” regarding businesses that Nurmagomedov is invested in.

In the latest update as this case still unfolds, Mash.ru have now stated that he has had his car collection seized to a total of around $900,000, after his bank accounts were already frozen.

Conor McGregor Reposts Explains His Thoughts On Latest Khabib Nurmagomedov Update

McGregor has already commented on Nurmagomedov’s financial issues several times but he’s never going to miss an opportunity to take a free shot at his former foe.

Whilst he didn’t respond directly on this occasion, “The Mac” let his presence be known via reposting a video that was targeted at him.

Underneath the above post which details what vehicles have been seized, a fan responded with a video of McGregor driving his own boat to the soundtrack of “Still D.R.E”.

McGregor reposted the video without adding any additional context, not that it was necessary to get his point across successfully.
