Dana White has revealed whether UFC fans can expect Conor McGregor to make his eagerly anticipated comeback anytime soon.
‘The Notorious’ hasn’t fought since suffering a second defeat at the hands of Dustin Poirier back at UFC 264 on July 11, 2021.
However, he hasn’t given up hope of returning to the cage for another dance. McGregor even recently made a demand to White as he teased a future fight.
However, as far as the president of the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization is concerned, the MMA community might be waiting a while to see the Dubliner back in action.
