Former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor will not make his return to fighting by the end of this year at least, according to CEO, Dana White – amid continued links to a December comeback in the main event of UFC 310 against Michael Chandler.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion, has been out of action for the last three years, amid a fractured left tibia and fibula suffered against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in 2021.
However, officially booked to headline UFC 303 at the end of June during International Fight Week, McGregor was slated to take on the above-mentioned former Bellator MMA gold holder, Chandler over the course of five rounds at the welterweight limit.
