At a press conference in Moscow on Thursday morning, Conor McGregor announced that he will return to action on Jan. 18 at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, but the opponent he is set to face remained unnamed.
The Irishman has not contested a professional bout since his Oct. 2018 loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Yet, when plotting his path to a Moscow rematch with the Russian champion, McGregor insisted that he will return to action in January before setting his sights on the winner of UFC 244’s BMF title bout between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal.
