Conor McGregor’s absence from the UFC octagon for over two years has led to speculation about the future of his competitive fighting career. Despite his frequent callouts and social media activity. Many fight fans and fighters are starting to question whether McGregor’s days as an elite mixed martial artist are behind him. Former UFC standout Darren Till recently shared his thoughts on McGregor’s situation. Suggesting that the Irishman might be struggling to let go of his fighting career.
Till expressed his opinion in an interview with SportsLens stating that he believes McGregor is done with the UFC and is finding it difficult to accept that his fighting days are over. Till pointed out that McGregor doesn’t train like he used to. He’s financially secure and he has a family to care for. Till believes that McGregor is holding onto his fighting career but needs to realize that it’s time to move on.
Till acknowledged McGregor’s achievements and contributions to the sport but emphasized that fighters must eventually transition to the next phase of their lives. He found humor in McGregor’s social media recordings where the fighter often seems to be intoxicated expressing his belief that McGregor will eventually find his peace.
However, Till also acknowledged that McGregor might prove him wrong and make a comeback in the UFC. He mentioned that McGregor could be holding off for various reasons including potential drug testing a desire to keep his name relevant or a strategy for returning next year. Till recognized McGregor’s savvy business sense and suggested that there’s more to the situation than meets the eye.
McGregor’s recent string of losses coupled with his extended time away from the sport. This has led to uncertainty about his competitive drive and readiness for a return. Darren Till himself was released from the UFC earlier this year after a series of defeats. Despite this setback, Till remains determined to continue his fighting career and is exploring opportunities in other combat sports.
Till is considering a potential boxing match with notable opponents and is open to facing influencers in boxing or MMA. He expressed his eagerness to get back to fighting and emphasized his commitment to training and preparation. Till’s desire to step back into the ring showcases his resilience and determination to bounce back from challenges.
