11th July 2021 was a sad night for all MMA fans. Conor McGregor, the biggest name in the UFC history, suffered one of the most gruesome injuries ever seen in MMA. While facing Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, McGregor broke his left leg as it brutally snapped in the first round. Ever since then, the Irishman has been out of action.

The moment it occurred, the shock and concern reverberated throughout the sporting world. Fans and pundits questioned whether McGregor would ever be able to return to the cage again. However, the Irish fighter’s indomitable spirit led him to make a resolute decision—to return to the sport that propelled him to stardom.

Recently, McGregor’s own Netflix documentary called McGregor Forever came out. The documentary covers the former UFC champion’s life after his success up until his leg break. In the final minutes of the documentary, McGregor engages in a candid conversation with his doctor, seeking answers about when he can make his triumphant return.

Doctor gave Conor McGregor a shocking timeline for return

During the documentary, McGregor anxiously queries his doctor about the anticipated timeline for his return to the Octagon. The doctor, candid in his response, suggests a recovery period of 10 months to a year. He emphasizes the importance of completely healing to avoid compromising McGregor‘s performance and safety. This revelation sets the stage for eager fans, eagerly awaiting his return.

“I think 10 months to an year. Lets face it, when you get in there, you are gonna wanna be…you dont want to be compromised, you dont want to be restricted. You wanna be full go, everything goes, I think it is going to take that long.”

However, as the months passed, it became apparent that McGregor‘s timeline for return was far from accurate. Notably, it is now well over a year and a half since the injury, and McGregor has yet to even enter the USADA testing pool—a crucial requirement for any fighter looking to make a UFC comeback. The extended absence has left fans and analysts speculating about the true extent of McGregor’s recovery.
