The idea of Conor McGregor vs Islam Makhachev is one of the most talked-about dream fights in UFC history, but it has never materialized for several key reasons. First, Conor McGregor has been largely inactive in recent years due to serious injuries, including a broken leg, along with long recovery periods.

He has also focused on business ventures, movies, and life outside the octagon, which has delayed his full-time return. Secondly, Islam Makhachev competes at a consistently elite level and has been focused on defending his title against top-ranked lightweight contenders.

From the UFC’s perspective, matching an inactive McGregor against a dominant, in-form champion carries high risk with little competitive balance. Additionally, McGregor has discussed moving at different weight classes, creating further complications.

While the fight would be massive commercially, timing, fitness, rankings, and commitment have prevented Conor McGregor vs Islam Makhachev from becoming a reality so far.
