“He Is Training” - Dana White Makes Blockbuster Announcement on Conor McGregor’s UFC Return

White said McGregor is training and expects him to fight this summer, with a formal announcement likely coming soon.

  • On Thursday, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed Conor McGregor is training and will fight this summer, stating he is "extremely confident" about the comeback during an interview on 'The Jim Rome Show'.
  • McGregor has not competed since suffering a broken leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021, resulting in a near 5-year layoff that fueled ongoing speculation about his fighting future.
  • Previous plans for McGregor to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 were canceled after the fighter withdrew with a broken toe, halting momentum for his return.
  • Reports indicate the promotion targets UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for July 11, positioning McGregor as the potential headliner to cap off International Fight Week.
  • While no official announcement has been made, McGregor is closing in on his 38th birthday, marking a critical juncture as he targets a return to the Octagon.
