Part 2/7:
Stephen A. Smith expressed skepticism about McGregor's readiness to return to the UFC, arguing that the level of competition has only grown more intense over the years. As a seasoned MMA fighter, McGregor's track record has been underwhelming, winning only once in the past seven years against Donald Cerrone. Smith emphasized that this new venture into boxing might serve as a transitional phase for McGregor, who's currently far from the competitive form needed to take on elite fighters in the UFC.
