After the competition between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler in the middle of this year was canceled, Dana White once spoke about the possibility of them playing in the future. UFC president repeatedly admitted that Conor McGregor could hardly return to play in 2024. However, everything is now different.
“We are about to update from McGregor, Oliveira, Chandler and Max Holloway,” Dana White said. With Holloway preparing the championship with Ilia Topuria, the possibility of the remaining 3 fighters soon competed in the near future is completely feasible, including McGregor.
The last time McGregor played at UFC took place in July 2021. The broken leg in the match against Poirier caused McGregor to take a long -term break. Michael Chandler also had to wait for McGregor in the past 2 years to not fight, because the “scandalous guy” recovered quite slowly.
Conor McGregor was born in 1988, held the UFC championship in two weight classes Featherweight and Lightweight. Despite his long break, he was still considered the most noticeable face of UFC. However, the fact that McGregor has not come back also makes the tournament suffer significant damage.
Another question on the day Conor McGregor returned was the ability he played the top is no longer as sure as before. In the last 4 matches in UFC, McGregor lost 3 matches. Donald Cerrone, the only one McGregor won in early 2020, also took a break 2 years ago.
