Conor McGregor’s lawyer posted and then quickly deleted an Instagram story that had fans speculating over an imminent fight announcement.

Most of the time, it’s often wise to steer clear of such things but this time around, it really seemed quite blatant.

McGregor’s Ireland-based lawyer Graham Kenny posted the following picture to his official Instagram story before deleting it shortly after.

Okay, so Conor McGregor's Ireland-based lawyer Graham Kenny posted this to his Instagram story yesterday evening. H/T to @FrontRowBrian. If true, 'The Notorious' will take on Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in a little over nine weeks time. #UFC pic.twitter.com/A8aH06NYAu — Chisanga Malata (@Chisanga_Malata) August 1, 2018

It’s pretty clear when you think about it.

Nothing like this happens by chance, though. You often see these little seeds planted just prior to some actual movement and in the case of Khabib vs. McGregor, it really does appear as though we’re getting somewhere.

UFC 229 on Oct 6 is being pointed to as the most likely date right now. We summed up everything else that you will need to know ahead of the fight’s announcement last week so I would suggest preparing yourself because things look as though they are about to get crazy.
