Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has revealed that despite plans to train Straight Blast Gym training partner, Dillon Danis for his upcoming October boxing match with Logan Paul, the pair failed to link up amid a recent training camp in Cannes, France.
McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon amid a fractured leg suffered back in 2021, in his trilogy rubber match loss to former interim titleholder, Dustin Poirier.
And despite initially laying out plans for a December return this year at the welterweight limit against Michael Chandler, McGregor has since seen that timeframe quashed, with UFC CEO, Dana White instead confirming how he expects the Crumlin striker to instead make a return in 2024.
