The UFC world hasn’t seen ‘The Notorious’ fight in the octagon since his last bout at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. Fans eagerly speculated about his return month after month, but the Irishman kept finding one reason or another to stay away. Now, the 36-year-old has grabbed the headlines once again. In a post on X, he announced his intention to run for the upcoming presidential elections in Ireland.

The announcement sent shockwaves through social media, sparking reactions from fans, fighters, and analysts. Among them, UFC lightweight fighter Chase Hooper reacted to the announcement, suggesting that McGregor’s fighting career had officially ended. Hooper indicated that the former double champion would never return to the octagon, as he was now stepping into the political arena.

Ultimately, McGregor has achieved what he always wanted: fame, influence, and control over his legacy. Whether he will return to the octagon or not still remains a question. However, for now, the Irishman must be looking forward to the elections aiming to prove himself as a leader. His journey from the octagon to politics shows McGregor’s ambition knows no limits.

When it comes to McGregor’s return, many, including Daniel Cormier and other fighters, don’t believe he’ll ever step into the octagon again—especially with his growing focus on politics. However, if he ever returns, he will have eyeballs of millions on him.
