Considering McGregor (22-6) started his UFC career at featherweight, a middleweight move will be a massive jump for the Irishman.

McGregor then suffered consecutive stoppage losses against Dustin Poirier, suffering a leg injury in his most recent outing in 2021. While McGregor recovered from the injury within a year, he hasn’t fought since, despite teasing a return multiple times.
