Conor McGregor’s future might turn into clearer quickly, in accordance with Dana White.
The UFC CEO hosted an Instagram Dwell chat on Wednesday night, through which he teased an replace on the standing of “The Infamous.” McGregor has been out of motion since breaking his leg in a July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and after a tumultuous summer time that noticed a scheduled bout with Michael Chandler fall by means of, there was no information on when McGregor’s long-awaited comeback might be rescheduled.
White has needed to repeatedly shoot down the opportunity of McGregor preventing earlier than the tip of 2024, so it stays to be seen what White plans to announce for the previous two-division champion.
“Conor information developing, we’ve received Oliveira information developing,” White stated. “We’ve received Chandler information developing. We’ve received Max Holloway information developing. All that good shit. Coming quickly.”
Shortly after White accomplished his IG chat, McGregor appeared to reply to the remark with a sly emoji.
Former light-weight champion Charles Oliveira has been awaiting his subsequent reserving since a loss to Arman Tsarukyan this previous April at UFC 300. “Do Bronx” was anticipated to earn a UFC title shot and a rematch with Islam Makhachev with a win over Tsarukyan, however now seeks to knock off one other high identify at 155 kilos to stay within the championship dialogue.
Chandler’s pursuit of the McGregor combat has sidelined him for shut to 2 years now, however the light-weight contender continues to insist that his matchup with the Irish celebrity will happen sooner or later.
As for Holloway, White’s point out of the “BMF” champion was odd provided that Holloway is already booked to combat undefeated featherweight titleholder Ilia Topuria at UFC 308 on Oct. 26. Nonetheless, provided that Holloway is at present a contender at each 145 and 155 kilos, maybe there are already plans for Holloway at light-weight whatever the UFC 308 major occasion outcome.
