Will McGregor Return To The UFC?

During his birthday tweet, McGregor quoted Schwarzenegger’s famous catch phrase, “I’ll be back” and accompanied the tweet with a series of photos, including one with his leg in a cast.

Check out the tweet below.

I’ll be back!

This isn’t the first time that McGregor has retired and returned via Twitter.

McGregor retired via Twitter in 2019 in the midst of negotiations that were ultimately resolved. He also pulled another retirement hoax in July 2020, moments after the conclusion of UFC 250.

Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting.
Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been!
Here is a picture of myself and my mother in Las Vegas post one of my World title wins!

While it remains to be seen if McGregor has officially called it quits, this could be just another stunt by the former UFC champ, who has flirted with thoughts of retirement in the past.
