“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.
