The combat sports world has been waiting for Conor McGregor's return, but it appears that his return to fighting in any discipline is going to take more time. The Irish superstar has yet to step back into the octagon with the UFC and has not laced up his boxing gloves.

Conor McGregor said the UFC would not grant him permission to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match in India this year.

McGregor confronted his potential opponent Logan and his brother Jake Paul earlier this week while on their way to the United States presidential inauguration. McGregor’s energy was off the charts, but he kept things professional enough while talking trash to the Paul Brothers as they rode on the same bus to the event.
