The (former?) UFC lightweight champion addressed Dana White’s comments to TMZ Sports that he wasn’t sure if McGregor would ever compete again after scoring a reported $100 million payday to box Floyd Mayweather in August.
McGregor states that not only is he going to fight again, “Period,” but that he even offered to serve as a last-second substitute to face Frankie Edgar at UFC 222 on March 3 when featherweight champ Max Holloway abruptly withdrew with an injury.

Here is what McGregor posted on his verified Instagram account Thursday:
I am fighting again.
