The bout marked the first time that fans have had a chance to see McGregor compete since his submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 this past October.

This is not the first time that fight fans have had a chance to witness Conor McGregor compete inside the squared circle.

McGregor took on undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in August of 2016, losing the blockbuster super fight via tenth round TKO.

“Mystic Mac” is expected to return to the octagon this fall and if he has his way it will be for a rematch with the aforementioned Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The Irishman has been fixated on getting a second crack at the undefeated Russian ever since their first fight came to an end last October.

Whether or not McGregor will be granted his wish for an immediate rematch with “The Eagle” remains to be seen.

UFC President Dana White recently told reporters that a title unification bout with Dustin Poirier is next for Khabib Nurmagomedov, adding that the promotion has other plans for McGregor.

Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz are also options for McGregor’s next fight.

Harry Kettle - November 5, 2024

UFC prospect Joe Pyfer has called for a rematch with Dustin Stoltzfus following the latter’s KO win over Marc-André Barriault. Over the course of the last few years, Joe Pyfer has emerged as a really interesting contender at middleweight. However, it’s safe to say that he hasn’t had everything go his way. In addition to a defeat against Jack Hermansson back in February, his first Contender Series appearance against Dustin Stoltzfus ended with him sustaining an injury.

Josh Evanoff - November 4, 2024

It appears that Dustin Poirier wants to face Max Holloway in his final UFC fight. ‘The Diamond’ has been out of the cage since a third crack at lightweight gold at UFC 302 in June. In the main event of that card, Dustin Poirier faced Islam Makhachev. Despite entering the cage a massive underdog, the longtime contender gave the champion all he could handle. However, Makhachev still scored a fifth-round submission to retain his title.

Josh Evanoff - November 4, 2024

UFC welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov has no issue fighting Ian Garry if he needs to. ‘Nomad’ is in a bit of a weird spot at the moment. Shavkat Rakhmonov last appeared in the cage last December, submitting longtime contender Stephen Thompson on the UFC 296 main card. Following that victory, he was booked to face Belal Muhammad in his first shot at welterweight gold. However, that fight’s no longer happening.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic believes most fans want to see him fight Jon Jones. The 42-year-old hasn’t been seen in the cage since a second-round knockout loss to Francis Ngannou in early 2021. Due to the destructive nature of the defeat, some assumed Stipe Miocic would never fight again. However, over three years later, he’s set to return at UFC 309 opposite Jon Jones.

Shavkat Rakhmonov is hoping to remain on UFC 310 and wants to fight for the interim title. Rakhmonov was supposed to headline UFC 310 against Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title but the champ suffered an injury that forced him to withdraw. Although Rakhmonov could wait for the title shot, he wants to remain active and calls to fight Kamaru Usman for the interim title.
