Dana White announces as MMA community awaits official word on Conor McGregor’s eagerly anticipated return match. The former two-division champion has not entered the octagon since breaking his left leg almost three years ago.
Early Sunday morning, the MMA pioneer presents its historic 300th pay-per-view event in Las Vegas. The T-Mobile Arena will be the center of attention for both casual and die-hard fighters for UFC 300, a tremendous card. A staggering twelve previous, present, interim, and indisputable champions are on the schedule, with Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill squaring off in the main event at light-heavyweight.
Therefore, with the world watching, it would make sense for the UFC to announce the return of the biggest celebrity in mixed martial arts history. The announcement of McGregor vs. Chandler would take center stage over UFC 300.

But if the UFC didn’t confirm or at least hint at McGregor’s comeback, they would be losing out on a golden opportunity. Since fracturing his left leg during his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, the crowd favorite McGregor has not touched the cage.
“The Mac,” “The Notorious,” and McGregor declared in an ESPN interview that they will return to the UFC Octagon for the movie’s promotional tour this summer. Excitement for McGregor’s comeback was heightened by UFC CEO Dana White’s Instagram post, which featured a brief footage of McGregor walking and the words “coming soon.” However, the announcement is not ready yet!

The UFC did not release an official statement, even though Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler stated in different interviews that their fight—initially slated to take place following TUF 31 last year—had been confirmed.
At the UFC 300 news conference, Dana White, in typical form, ended the speculation. White responded directly when questioned about the Internet debates surrounding the news of McGregor’s comeback: “Don’t believe anything you read on the Internet.”
Fans are still ecstatic about McGregor’s comeback despite the uncertainty surrounding it. One thing is sure, though, as the MMA community anxiously awaits more information: McGregor’s comeback, whenever it occurs, will be a historic occasion for the sport.
