The last time we saw Conor McGregor in action, he was hobbling out of the octagon. That infamous leg break against Dustin Poirier left fans wondering if we’d ever see him fight again. But hold onto your hats because Dana White just dropped a bombshell. The UFC big cheese hinted at some juicy news coming our way.
White teased updates on several fighters during an Instagram Live session. McGregor’s name was at the top of that list. He didn’t stop at the Irish star, mentioning Charles Oliveira, Michael Chandler, and Max Holloway.
“Conor news coming up, we’ve got Oliveira news coming up. We’ve got Chandler news coming up. We’ve got Max Holloway news coming up. All that good shit. Coming soon,” said White.
Now, before fans get too excited, they have been here before. White’s been playing this game of “will he, won’t he” for months now with McGregor. Bit for the others, that seems like exciting news. Oliveira has been itching for a fight since his loss to Arman Tsarukyan.
Michael Chandler, on the other hand, has been waiting to fight McGregor for what feels like centuries. As for Holloway, he’s already booked to fight Ilia Topuria in October. So, White’s tease is more puzzling for him. Maybe it involves his BMF title defense next!
