Conor McGregor has been out of action since losing to arch rival Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in 2018. Since then, McGregor has remained in the news for numerous controversies and Twitter rants.
McGregor has been linked with a lot of fighters for his Octagon comeback including the likes of Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje, Donald Cerrone and more recently, the veteran Frankie Edgar. However, UFC President Dana White has already ruled out the possibility of McGregor returning to face Edgar while maintaining that he believes the Irishman will return sometime in 2020.
