Conor McGregor told it's 'probably the end' of UFC career after three years without a win

Conor McGregor has been told that it is 'probably the end' of his UFC career as he marked three years without a win.

McGregor last secured a UFC victory in January 2020 when he beat Donald Cerrone.

That win was his first in four years and McGregor has not fought since summer 2021 where he lost to Dustin Poirier.

And fellow struggling UFC fighter Darren Till believes McGregor's career in the UFC may be done after two years of inactivity due to his recovery from a broken leg.

The Brit was speaking with Basketball Insiders when he made the prediction for McGregor's career, explaining things change when you become a superstar at the Irishman's level.

“I think Conor has been there and done it," Till explained. "He's made his money and now he’s happy. I’m sure he probably wants to come back but deep down he knows life’s different now. I think it’s probably the end for Conor but he’s still the biggest name in the sport.”

McGregor is planning to return this year, but will first need to re-enter the USADA drug testing pool which could take six months to fully complete.

He believes that he will be granted an exemption and starting in February will begin working towards a comeback fight, which will likely be against Michael Chandler up at welterweight.
