Read our privacy policy Dana White has poured cold water on Conor McGregor’s UFC comeback, refusing to offer a date for the former champion’s return to the Octagon. In an interview with TNT Sports, the UFC president said the promotion plans to visit Ireland twice in 2024, but he suggested that McGregor would not fight on either card. “If you look at what the guy has accomplished in such a short amount of time, the amount of money that he’s made, and the business opportunities that he’s taken outside of the Octagon, Conor can do whatever the hell Conor wants to do – and good for him.” McGregor, 35, last fought in July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in his second straight loss to Dustin Poirier. It has been rumoured that McGregor could fight at UFC 300 in April, though the Irishman’s coach John Kavanagh said last month that summer 2024 was a likelier period for McGregor’s comeback.
