Years on from his stunning featherweight title unification win over former champion, Jose Aldo back in 2015, former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor has reflected on his stunning victory at UFC 194 — which saw him land the fastest finish in a title fight in the history of the organization.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder, has been out of action for over three years — most recently fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

And ruled from a scheduled return at UFC 303 back in June, McGregor saw a welterweight matchup with veteran striker, Michael Chandler fall to the wayside after fracturing a toe on his foot, ruling him from an International Fight Week return to the Octagon.

Shavkat Rakhmonov hasn’t put a foot wrong during his ascent up the welterweight ladder towards a title shot.

With a undefeated record and all of his wins coming via finish, the 170-pound contender appears to be set up to challenge Belal Muhammad for the belt next time out. unless something unexpected occurs.

The UFC has been known to temporarily swerve the rankings if it means putting something big together and when you’re talking big in MMA, there’s no one larger than Conor McGregor.

Despite there being no rescheduled date for his welterweight return against Michael Chandler, “The Notorious” returning with a win could completely change the top of the weight class.

Rakhmonov spoke in a recent interview with MMA Fighting about how he believes the promotion will do right by him even in the instance that “The Mac” is back in the mix.

“He’s been getting ready to fight a long time but wasn’t able to do that yet so in my head, I don’t even think about him winning this one fight in three years is going to do something. I understand he’s a big star but in my head, I don’t see it being possible. I believe UFC is the best and the most fair organization so I believe they’re gonna do everything right.”

Shavkat Rakhmonov Reveals That Belal Muhammad Turned Down UFC 307 Title Fight

Though there has been some debate over whether Rakhmonov will definitely be the next title challenger for Muhammad, the contender answered this question all by himself.

He revealed during the same interview that he has already been offered the title shot but it didn’t come to fruition due to the champion not being able to make a 70-day turnaround to fight at elevation in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Alex Pereira will be headlining UFC 307 instead, which always seemed to be an optimistic target for Muhammad after he won the belt at the end of July.

“Yeah, actually I had already been offered to fight Belal and I accepted the fight against Belal but unfortunately, he declined to fight me due to the timing issues, he wasn’t ready to defend his belt on that time. So, we’ll see what’s gonna happen and when he’s gonna be ready so I will be able to fight him. Before he became a champion and after he won the belt, he said he’s gonna be an active champion and he will defend his belt more often but at the moment, he isn’t backing up what he said so let’s see what’s going to happen, when he’s going to be ready to fight me.”

Conor McGregor’s Next Fight

On a recent IG live, the leader of the UFC Dana White teased an announcement regarding the Irish-born MMA superstar. There has been much speculation of when McGregor will return to the UFC. White himself said that it will not be in 2024. Michael Chandler, who coached TUF against ‘The Notorious,’ said he is ready to move on from the fight and is done waiting.

But it seems there is imminent news. Dana White was asked about McGregor’s UFC return, he said, “News coming soon” but couldn’t offer any more information or details. When this was announced, McGregor took to Twitter and added fuel to the fire with a single smirking emoji.

Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

Iron’ Michael Chandler has long been waiting for his fight against McGregor. The two lightweight athletes coached TUF against one another years ago but a fight date could never be nailed down. The Irish fighter dropped out of their booked matchup due to a toe injury but it was never rebooked.

Chandler is sick of waiting for Conor McGregor’s Next Fight, and in a recent interview said:

“And I think I put him away. It used to be the second round, but at this point, with everything that has been built up, I think I will finish him in the first round … I am an optimist by default, so I do believe the Conor fight will happen. Right now, we are in a period where things are being talked about.

“What date? Is it Conor? Is it pivoting to a different fight? Is it making the best decision for me and my family? I love the idea that Conor and I did The Ultimate Fighter, we had a training camp, we signed on the dotted line. But as much as I respect Conor, my legacy is not hinged upon this fight.”

The former Bellator world champion Michael Chandler signed with the UFC and has been an exciting staple of the lightweight division ever since. McGregor made history by being a two-division UFC champion winning two world titles both by way of knockout. The Irish star may be best known for his rivalry against Khabib Nurmagomedov and the blockbuster boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather. McGregor has not been active in the octagon since 2021. But, it seems, Conor McGregor’s Next Fight news may be coming soon.

Reflecting on the infamous coming together post-fight, Nurmagomedov has claimed once both parties had been corralled inside the Octagon ahead of their grudge fight, he informed White that McGregor would never be safe despite his efforts.

I remember when I come inside the cage, when the cage closed, I remember I looked at Dana (White) and I said, ‘Today, you cannot protect (Conor McGregor).’ Dana asked me what? I said, ‘Today, you cannot protect him.’” Khabib Nurmagomedov said on the Inspire Me podcast. “He didn’t hear me. It’s OK, after the fight [we’ll] talk.”

“It was a very emotional time, but t the same time, it was my feeling — I really wanted to bite someone’s heart,” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained. “Do you have that feeling in your life? I just tried to bite his heart. Maybe you can feel this. I am ‘The Eagle’ and then the eagle is hungry, it’s not good. He has to hunt. That’s why.”
