While, it is almost certain that Conor McGregor will not fight again this year. But speculations of his come back will never cease. The Notorious one has a habit of making the headlines, and just last week he made a cryptic tweet that said “I Accept” and later made the same tweet in Filipino language, which even brought Manny Pacquiao in the picture, and further, presumptions of him entering the Boxing Ring came up. So, with Conor McGregor no final declaration is ever final.
