Conor McGregor disagrees with UFC, wants a December fight return
After Conor McGregor's disappointing injury last June that pulled him out of his much-anticipated return at UFC 303, fans have been eagerly speculating when he'll be back in action.
Rumor has been circulating that 'The Notorious' will have a December return, fitting for a year-end fight card. However, in a recent press conference, UFC president Dana White denied these claims, saying:
"Not this year, he [McGregor] won't fight this year."
In response to this, McGregor tweeted:
"Ah Dana [White], December is the date! Bring the calendar year home with a winnnig event! Come on now, what's this? I am off to altitude next month to prepare. DECEMBER! Tell Dana and the UFC WE WANT DECEMBER! WE DESERVE DECEMBER!"
