DANA WHITE’s latest update on Conor McGregor had UFC fans all saying the same thing.
The Irishman was set to end his long octagon hiatus last June against Michael Chandler before breaking his left pinky toe in one of his final sparring sessions.

White projected a “fall” return for the 36-year-old last month but is seemingly no longer sure when the UFC‘s poster boy will be back in the cage.
When asked about McGregor during the UFC Fight Night 250 post-fight press conference last Saturday, he replied: “Conor?
“Um… Not sure when Conor will be back”
White’s apparent changing of his tune didn’t go unnoticed by MMA fans, one of whom wrote on X: “I think we’ve seen the last of him.”
Another said: “I said this before, I think Dana has had enough of McGregor.”
And another said: “I think Dana was about to say not sure if he will ever fight again.”
One remarked: “Translation: Conor is never gonna be back.”
Another chimed in: “He will not be back FFS. Shut the f**k up and stop teasing it.”
McGregor was recently linked with a sensational crossover boxing match with YouTube sensation and WWE star Logan Paul.
And the former two-weight world champion recently admitted he’s more interested in the influencer boxing scene than competing inside the cage.
He told The Schmo: “I’m more inclined now for this influencer, f***ing whatever you call it.
“Because it’s astronomical money. It’s astronomical, the figures.
“Who is there? Jake [Paul], Logan [and] KSI.
“I like the three of these guys and then all these other ones that are tussling around.”
McGregor hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
His next fight, if he does indeed ever fight again, will be his first since being found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin Hotel in December 2018.
‘The Notorious’ – who was accused of “raping and battering” Ms Hand – has vowed to appeal the verdict of last November’s civil trial at Dublin’s High Court.
