It appears that the world will not have to wait long for Conor McGregor to return to the ring. The UFC and boxing superstar took to X to announce his next opponent.
“The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon,” McGregor stated in a new post on X.
Apparently, while rumors swirled that he would return to the UFC to face current featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, McGregor himself shut those down. Instead of his return to MMA at all, he will instead face Logan Paul in a boxing match ahead of his UFC return.
