Conor McGregor is out of UFC lightweight rankings
Many admirers of “Notorious” Conor McGregor all across the world are curious about when he might have another chance to compete for the 155-pound gold. Given that McGregor is unranked in the organization’s Lightweight category and that his most recent fight ended in a defeat to Dustin Poirier, it is unlikely that this will happen anytime soon.
Many lightweight competitors entered the ring at UFC 281 to advance in the division and contend for the title. Dan Hooker was able to move up among these competitors, moving from No. 12 to No. 11. As a result, everyone below him was demoted by one rank.
He has been healing and gaining weight ever since, awaiting his comeback to the octagon. He has assured his followers that he will return soon. Since losing his lightweight championship to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, he has competed three times, defeating Donald Cerrone by TKO in 2020 and Poirier by KO/TKO in his two subsequent fights in 2021.
