Amid the booking of a rematch clash between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler for later this year, Conor McGregor’s return to the Octagon is up in even more smoke according to UFC boss, Dana White, who claimed an opponent for the Dubliner would not be selected until his return was loctite.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder, has been out of action since he headlined UFC 264 over three years ago in a trilogy rubber match against former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.
Fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss, Conor McGregor was scheduled to headline UFC 303 back in June in a welterweight matchup against the above-mentioned Chandler, until a fractured toe ruled the striker from a hiatus-snapping return on just week’s notice.
