Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor has confirmed that he will be returning to the welterweight category and seems to have left the lightweight category behind him.
He took to Twitter on Tuesday for a question and answer session with his loyal fans and that is where he was asked about his future in the sport.

“Definitely,” McGregor tweeted when asked if he’d compete in the Welterweight division next.
“I’m excited to put on clinics. They’ve seen half a page of my dossier. [It will be] the greatest comeback in sports history.”
When did Conor McGregor get injured?
He has been out of action ever since he broke his leg at the end of the trilogy against Dustin Poirier, in July 2021.
“Distant memory,” McGregor responded when asked how the leg was feeling.
“Masterful surgeons and team. Leg is now a lethal weapon.”
Later this month at UFC 280, on October 22, 2022, McGregor‘s most recent fighting home continues to move on, with the vacant title tilt between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
Despite his recent setbacks, the potential for McGregor to jump immediately into a title fight with either victor has been a lingering thought amongst the division. Oliveira, in particular, has been vocal about his desire for the match-up.
If it happens, McGregor has his usual confidence to come out on top in an impressive fashion.
“Olly and easily,” McGregor predicted for the Makhachev fight.
“I’ve KO’d every Brazilian I’ve fought. I KO Charles too.”
There have been many suggestions in recent weeks and months from various professionals and pundits that McGregor will not be able to return at the same level given the way that he has conducted himself during the recovery period.
