McGregor has not competed in the UFC since his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, which he lost due to doctor stoppage after he suffered a broken tibia.
Later this year, however, McGregor will make his comeback to the octagon against fellow UFC veteran Michael Chandler.
McGregor will not be done there, though, as he recently told Barstool Sports: “What do I hope for in this world?
“I hope for 100 fights. I hope for 100 more fights. I’m working for consistency.
McGregor is preparing for his comeback by coaching on The Ultimate Fighter
“I’ve been having this on, off, on, off nonsense for too long, via fight politics, via injuries, via just life.
“It does happen. It’s God’s plan. It’s all God, so I accept and understand it.
“But I’m excited and hopeful that I can get a nice consecutive run of bouts.
“I’ve got a lot of exciting fights. I’ve got some rivalries. You’ve got guys on the climb, you’ve got guys in other divisions that are supposed to be the best.
“There’s loads of bouts I could have and I’m excited for every single one of them.”
