“Give me something,” McGregor said. “It was supposed to be April, [and before that] it was supposed to be December. They never treated anyone – no one has ever been treated [like this] for all the figures I’ve brought in this game.
“I sell more than all of them combined. I see more than all of them combined. No one in the history of the fight game has ever been treated the way I’m getting treated – to what I came through, to what I bring … I’m waiting, I’m waiting and I’m waiting. My patience is wearing thin.”
McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar, revealed that the fighter’s team was pushing hard for the Irish star to be on the UFC 300 card set for April 13. The promotion only recently began announcing bouts for the milestone event.
If he can’t get back in the Octagon soon, McGregor mentioned a potential boxing clash against Manny Pacquiao during his rant.
“Get me back in there. It’s f—ing bollocks,” McGregor said. “The Mac has loads to offer, loads to deliver. They’re talking Manny. I don’t give a f—k. They’re talking Manny here in Saudi. The lads in the UFC aren’t really talking any. So the lads here are talking Manny, and the UFC aren’t talking any.”
McGregor hasn’t competed since breaking his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.
