Dana White has unveiled the UFC's new tentative plans for Conor McGregor, who was set to make his long-awaited octagon comeback in June against Michael Chandler. However, a broken left pinky toe forced McGregor to pull out of the fight just weeks before the showdown.
Rescheduled Return
White disclosed that McGregor's rescheduled return to the octagon will now take place late next year, dashing hopes of a 2024 comeback as previously hinted by the Irish fighter.
Opponent Uncertainty
Despite calls from Michael Chandler for a face-off, White remains uncertain about who will welcome McGregor back to the cage, stating, "There’s a lot of time before we can figure out who’s gonna fight Conor."
McGregor's Desire to Fight
White reiterated McGregor's eagerness to step back into the octagon, emphasizing that the Irishman constantly reaches out about fighting and is likely to return towards the end of 2025.
