It appears that Conor McGregor is having some trouble staying motivated for training, due to his return date (to the UFC) not being confirmed yet.
It’s been almost three years since the Irishman suffered a devastating leg injury in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier, back in July 2021.
And, even though McGregor’s comeback seems imminent, no official date has been confirmed yet.
Speaking with The MAC Life during the premiere of his debut film, “Road House” McGregor revealed that he’s struggling to maintain motivation:
I had a [fight] camp in Cannes, the South of France, I had a camp in Dubai where I had world champions training with me where I was hoping for a December date, then a January date.
Then it keeps getting pushed back, then I lose interest and stop full training for a while.
Not stop training, I will always train, but stop full training and drinking a little back.I’m going to go back and regroup.
He continues:
I’m wrapping up this tour, I’ve got the St. Paddy’s Day festivities coming up, and then I’m gonna get back and regroup.
I’m gonna test myself physical wise on the treadmill and go about the McGregor Fast way – and get myself right back.
