Dana White Dispels Rumors Conor McGregor Will Headline UFC 300

Dana White Denies McGregor Headlining UFC 300

Dana White has definitively put an end to speculations that Conor McGregor was set to headline UFC 300. Despite McGregor eyeing a comeback fight against Michael Chandler, White insists that McGregor was never an option to top the bill.

McGregor's Comeback Plans

McGregor, 35, hoped to make his return at the Sin City extravaganza in an emotional plea last October. However, the UFC never had plans for his long-awaited comeback to take place at UFC 300.

White Defends McGregor

White refuted claims of a contract standoff with McGregor, praising the MMA star as a great business partner. White emphasized that McGregor has always been cooperative and professional in their dealings.

McGregor's Training and Future

Although McGregor has been sharing videos of his sparring sessions and appears ready for a full training camp, White remains cautious. He mentioned McGregor's upcoming movie and business ventures as factors that influence his return to the octagon.

Conor McGregor last fought in the UFC nearly three years ago when he suffered a leg break in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
