Dana White speaks about Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
'The Notorious' has been out of action since 2021 after suffering a fracture to his leg in his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier. While he was slated to return this year against Michael Chandler, there has been no update on the fight and it is certain that McGregor won't return to the octagon this year.
Speaking about it during a recent press conference, UFC CEO Dana White revealed that Conor McGregor would most likely fight next year. Further, White also spoke about Michael Chandler and suggested that he would offer Chandler another fight if he didn't want to wait for McGregor. He said:
“I got nothing on either one of those guys right now. I mean, I’ve been saying for a while, you know, next year is when Conor’s gonna fight. And then obviously, you know, if Chandler gets angsty we’ll figure something out. I think Chandler’s got a bunch of money, he’s hanging out with his family and when the time is right for the Conor fight, I’m sure that’s the fight he wants. I’m not speaking for him, I’m just assuming [that’s the fight he wants].”
