Conor McGregor has taken to his Instagram to announce that he is ready to return to the UFC.

The Irishman hasn't competed in the Octagon since November 2016, but in the recent, and lengthy, post on his Instagram, McGregor claims he's ready to get back in the action and compete, claiming, "It is on them to come and get me."

I am fighting again. Period. I am the best at this. I put my name forward to step in at UFC 222 to face Frankie Edgar when Max Holloway pulled out, but I was told there wasn't enough time to generate the money that the UFC would need. I was excited about bouncing in last minute and taking out the final featherweight, without all the rest of the stuff that comes with this game. Please respect the insane amount of work outside the fight game that I have put in. On top of the fighting. I am here. It is on them to come and get me. Because I am here. Yours sincerely, The Champ Champ™

Interestingly, McGregor unveiled that he was ready to step back into the game for UFC 222 in the post, "Please respect the insane amount of work outside the fight game that I have put in. On top of the fighting. I am here. It is on them to come and get me. Because I am here," another portion of the caption read. He also claimed he wanted to take part in UFC 222, but organizers went with another option due to financial and time constraints."
