In a recent Instagram Live conversation, UFC President Dana White revealed his discussions with McGregor regarding the ex-champ’s future. McGregor, sidelined since his defeat and subsequent leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, has openly criticized the UFC for not lining up his next bout.
While no concrete plans have been set for McGregor’s comeback, White is optimistic about the star’s imminent return to the cage.
“I had a chat with Conor today,” White shared. “Currently, I’m in Abu Dhabi and Conor’s in Dubai. We spoke this evening. You can expect us to come up with a plan soon. We’re in the midst of discussions.”
Amidst his absence from the ring, McGregor has been the subject of various fight speculations, particularly a highly anticipated face-off with Michael Chandler, following their stint as rival coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31. However, nothing is yet official regarding McGregor’s next match.
There’s also no definite news of McGregor being a part of the much-awaited UFC 300 lineup, and White remained non-committal on this matter. However, he did hint at more fight announcements for this significant event, leaving fans guessing about the key matchups.
Responding to queries about UFC 300, White remarked, “What fights? Yes, I’ve announced some, and there’s more on the way this week. Everyone’s so eager. Stay tuned for additional UFC 300 bouts being revealed this week. And no, not just any fights, but UFC 300. There’s a bunch more I’ll share this week.”
