UFC CEO Dana White provides update on Conor McGregor's return

For over three years now, fans have been salivating at the thought of Conor McGregor lacing up the 4oz gloves again.

UFC CEO Dana White provided major updates on when we'll see 'The Notorious' in action again. In an interview with veteran sports radio host Jim Rome, White discussed the possibility of McGregor still fighting Michael Chandler, the opponent he was supposed to face in the canceled main event of UFC 303 this year.

White said:

​

"Yeah, that's a fun fight [McGregor-Chandler]. I think Conor [McGregor] and [Michael] Chandler both like that fight. When Conor comes back, which I see being, you know, some time in the later part of next year, we'll see where everybody's at, what's going on, and we'll figure out who faces Conor. But there's no denying - that's why everybody was so excited about it - Chandler and Conor McGregor is a fun fight."
