Conor to get back in cage

MIXED martial arts star Conor McGregor, touted as a potential opponent for Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, has indicated he wants his next bout to be a return to the octagon rather than the ring.

Caught on video while out and about in New York, McGregor was asked about Pacquiao’s announcement last week that he had opened talks to fight McGregor.

“I think a true fight is what I want to do next,” McGregor says.

“MMA next.”
