The Conor McGregor comeback is undoubtedly one of the biggest events that Dana White is banking on in the future. It was expected to take place at UFC 303, but things didn’t go as planned. As White has remained cautious about giving a particular date, McGregor has successfully convinced the CEO about his return.
Recently, Dana White talked about Conor McGregor, who was enthusiastic about his comeback. However, he denied the possibility of the fight taking place this year. This decision collided with McGregor’s prediction as the Irishman is super confident about a December return. Looking at McGregor’s commitment, White may have changed his mind about a December mega event.
