Dana White updates on Conor McGregor’s return
Conor McGregor's last fight was his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021, which McGregor lost via TKO. The Irishman also suffered fractures to his left tibia and fibula during the bout, which kept him on the sidelines.
In 2024, he was slated to battle Michael Chandler. However, 'The Notorious' had to withdraw because of a toe injury. In 2025, UFC CEO Dana White had first declared that McGregor would fight this year, but then recanted his statements, claiming that the promotion had no updates on McGregor's comeback.
Amidst political aspirations and BKFC duties, McGregor had hinted at potential retirement. Most recently, after UFC lightweight kingpin Islam Makhachev vacated his throne in pursuit of welterweight gold, McGregor called out the UFC and White, with everyone in the MMA community speculating that 'The Notorious' will finally return.
However, White shut down the Dubliner's comeback rumors as he told Adam Glyn:
"He’s not fighting anytime soon. I haven’t talked to him in a minute, but yeah, I don’t know."
