- McGregor's UFC delayed until next year
- McGregor was scheduled to face Michael
- UFC president Dana White confirmed
Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated UFC comeback has been delayed until next year.
UFC president Dana White confirmed on Tuesday that the former two-weight champion will not fight in 2024.
McGregor was originally scheduled to face Michael Chandler in June but withdrew due to a broken toe.
Despite White’s announcement, McGregor quickly took to social media to dispute the timeline, insisting he aims for a December return.
The Irishman’s eagerness to fight contrasts with the UFC’s more cautious approach to his comeback.
McGregor’s last fight was a loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, where he suffered a career-threatening leg injury.
The ongoing back-and-forth between McGregor and the UFC adds another layer of intrigue to the saga surrounding his return to the Octagon.
