Conor McGregor could be set for fight in Ireland this summer

The star was in typically buoyant form when speaking to RTE’s Ryan Tubridy last night.

IRISH MMA FIGHTER Conor McGregor made his second appearance on The Late Late Show last night, and indicated there was a possibility he could fight in Ireland this summer.

The star was in typically buoyant form during the interview, and indicated he was hopeful of returning from his long-term injury in March, April or May.

He also revealed that promoters have “the O2 booked in May,” though any fight is dependent on whether he has recovered from injury sufficiently by then.

    This doesn’t come as a surprise to me, what professional is going to line up for an international friendly against a fairly rough Serb side a couple of days before his club season begins. Only the FAI would be stupid to schedule it for then .Im sure players like Hoolahan and Pilkington want to play for Ireland but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Norwich team doctor or Paul lambert have had a little word as well, and who could blame them?

    with playing our first qualifier in September for the next campaign, this is far from a non event. trap has to try something new after the slaying he got because of the euros.

    Trap’s policy of not blooding new players has come back to haunt him. He refused to introduce young players into games in the past. Now that he has lost some of his core team we have a very inexperienced squad.. It’s hard to blame the younger players for not being enthusiastic about playing for him after their previous treatment. I have to agree with the criticism about the timing of the game. This a money making venture for the FAI and has no consideration for players or their clubs?

    Once again Delaney and Co, make a mess, with just days before the start of a new English season he has a friendly, just to try make a few bob to cover his and Trapps wages.
