Conor McGregor’s much-anticipated return to the UFC may be further delayed, with UFC CEO Dana White suggesting that the Irish fighter will not make his comeback until early 2025. This news comes after McGregor suffered an injury that forced him to withdraw from a fight against Michael Chandler in June.
Since breaking his leg during a fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, McGregor has not stepped back into the Octagon. Instead, he has been busy with various other projects, such as starring in a movie remake and taking on a role at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships. However, his absence from the sport that made him famous has left many wondering if his passion for fighting has diminished.
McGregor’s immense wealth, stemming from his lucrative boxing match with Floyd Mayweather and various endorsements, raises questions about his motivation to return to the UFC. Dana White acknowledges this concern, noting that McGregor’s hunger for competition may have dwindled during his extended hiatus.
While McGregor has expressed his eagerness to fight in December at UFC 310, White’s declaration of an early 2025 return may disappoint the Irishman. McGregor’s public campaign for a December fight showcases his desire to get back into the Octagon sooner rather than later.
Despite McGregor’s claims and White’s statements, the uncertainty surrounding McGregor’s return to the UFC lingers. Fans and pundits alike are left wondering if McGregor’s glory days are behind him or if he will make a triumphant comeback in the near future. Only time will tell if McGregor will once again rise to the top of the UFC or if his time in the spotlight has come to an end.
