CONOR McGREGOR has cast doubt on his UFC future – despite having two fights left on his contract.
The 36-year-old has not stepped into the octagon since July 2021, when he suffered a horrific leg break against Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas.
He was due to fight Michael Chandler in a welterweight bout last June but had to withdraw because of a toe injury.
McGregor has since shown a lack of desire to make his UFC comeback, instead focussing on politics.
The Notorious visited US president Donald Trump at the White House earlier this month and subsequently announced that he will run to become the president of Ireland.
He is now determined to focus his energy on his country as opposed to his MMA career.
Asked earlier this week if and when he will make a return to the UFC, McGregor said: “I've got two fights on the contract, I'm in negotiations…
“Last week something happened to me. I went to the White House, and, my heart bleeds for my country right now.
“So there's a lot of stuff going on back home… I'm happy with what I've done.
“There's something else for me that's in my gut right now. And that's where I'm going.

“So we'll see. Greatness don't rush. And right now Ireland is in my thoughts.
“That's where I'm at.”
Former MMA star Daniel Cormier has claimed that McGregor's career in the sport is over.
He said: “Conor is a politician, dog.
“This has to be some sort of joke, right? Oh my God, why is he at theWhite House? What's going on?
“I'm ready to admit I think it's over, bro. I think it's over. I think I'm ready to admit he's done, bro.”
