Conor McGregor has been absent from the octagon for an extended period, marking a noticeable hiatus in his fighting career. During this year-long break, the Irish fighter has engaged himself in multiple activities. Most recently, he shared videos and delightful pictures on social media, showcasing his Halloween celebrations with his loved ones.
The UFC superstar and his fiancée, Dee Devlin, are parents to four children and share a great bond with the kids. Recently, on Halloween, Conor McGregor took his kids out for trick-or-treating. While it’s common for people to dress up as someone else during Halloween, the UFC superstar dressed as a war soldier. However, this isn’t the first time when the Irishman tried an interesting look on Halloween.
Over the years, Conor McGregor has consistently surprised fans with his quirky and interesting Halloween costumes. For instance, one time, he dressed as a serviceman, which attracted a lot of attention. The Irish fighter is known for his unpredictable nature, and his recent activities outside the UFC octagon showcase this characteristic. Most notably, he recently held an open workout session on his luxury yacht.

Amidst various activities, McGregor was seen engaging in troubling behavior. As such, he appeared intoxicated on a recent public stream. After witnessing his antics, the combat sports community seems increasingly doubtful about seeing McGregor in the ring again. However, to counter these speculations, the Irishman recently shared clips of himself working on his ground game.

Over the years, the Irishman has earned numerous accolades by defeating several formidable opponents. However, his recent trajectory in the promotion has become concerning, as he has suffered consecutive defeats in his last two fights. Since then, he has not stepped inside the octagon for three years. As McGregor’s recent behavior continues to make headlines, speculation about his retirement is growing.
Interestingly, even McGregor has hinted at this multiple times. Just four days ago, an X user mentioned that there was no reason to return since McGregor has done well outside his UFC career and is earning a substantial income from his businesses. ‘The Notorious’ agreed with this assessment. However, he shared a video of himself training on his ground game just days later, leaving everyone confused.

McGregor is not primarily a grappling-based fighter, often considered one of his weaknesses. With many grappling-oriented fighters in the UFC, the Irishman may be looking to address this vulnerability. Interestingly, amidst rumors of his retirement, he once said he would return in 2025. Now, it will be intriguing to see how the future unfolds for the most popular stars in MMA.
