If Conor McGregor loses his UFC comeback match against Michael Chandler, he will be advised to retire.

According to Matt Brown, if Conor McGregor loses his upcoming fight with Michael Chandler, he may be forced to retire from fighting.

Earlier this month, the former two-weight world champion made the UFC aware of his return.

Before the pair square off in the octagon in September, he is scheduled to coach on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter alongside Chandler.

Since breaking his tibia and fibula in the first round of his third fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, McGregor has been unable to compete.

However, he has insisted that he is prepared and eager to make his eagerly awaited comeback to the sport.

The 34-year-old is still optimistic about the upcoming fight, but MMA veteran Brown has cautioned him that if he loses, he might have to RETIRE.

He stated: “I have a hard time seeing Conor fighting again if he comes back and loses, especially a bad loss like that,” on the podcast The Fighter vs. The Writer.

“He doesn’t have any reason to fight again.

“He’s returning because he loves to fight, wants to put on a show, and I’m sure wants to win again.

If he returns and is knocked out by Michael Chandler, I doubt he will be motivated to fight again.
