UFC president Dana White has given his thoughts on how long Conor McGregor may be out of action and whether he’ll fight Dustin Poirier for a fourth time upon returning.Back at UFC 264, Conor McGregor lost to Poirier as a result of a broken leg. The injury occurred in the final seconds of the first round and served as a somber end to what had initially been quite a fun trilogy fight.Will Conor McGregor ever get back to the top?Many wonder if and when Conor McGregor will return to the octagon, and during a recent interview with UFC Arabia, Dana White gave his own thoughts on the matter.“That’d be a long time [a fourth fight against Dustin], Conor is gonna be out for a year. That would be a long time to wait. I don’t know. Who knows what the landscape is gonna look like in a year and what’s going on, I don’t know. I’m not even thinking about that. That doesn’t even cross my mind.”Catch Dana White's full interview with UFC Arabia below:White is right in saying that Conor McGregor is a long way away from competing professionally again, regardless of his plans to compete in a “wheelchair boxing match."Still, while Dana may claim he’s not even thinking about it, the presence of Conor McGregor in the UFC automatically makes the company better and far more profitable - which the boss is well aware of.
