McGregor Clashes with Dana White
Conor McGregor has publicly clashed with UFC president Dana White over his planned return to the octagon this year. McGregor was set to face Michael Chandler in June but had to pull out due to injury.
McGregor's Proposed Return
Despite White ruling out McGregor's return this year, the Irish fighter is adamant about making a comeback before the year ends. McGregor took to social media to announce his proposed return date in December, expressing his determination to fight.
White's Response
While White acknowledges McGregor's eagerness to fight, he has made it clear that the former two-weight world champion will not be stepping back into the octagon this year. White and McGregor are yet to finalize a return date for the fighter.
McGregor's Road to Recovery
McGregor has been out of action since his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier, where he suffered a devastating leg injury. Despite setbacks in his recovery, McGregor is determined to make a grand return and close out the UFC's pay-per-view calendar.
