Dana White Plans Huge Dallas Cowboys Return for Conor McGregor’s Fight Against Michael Chandler

A responsibility to fill up the 100,000-seater Dallas Cowboys’ stadium might befall UFC star Conor McGregor upon his comeback fight. The Irish fighter, who is currently on a hiatus, last fought in May 2021 against Dustin Poirier. While he tendered to his other duties outside the Octagon, the possibility of his comeback fight diminished until he returned to coach the next generation of fighters in the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. The announcement of S31 of TUF also showered relief to the fans who might witness ‘Mystic Mac’ grace the Octagon later this year. As the exact details of his thrilling fight against Michael Chandler are being ironed out, UFC president Dana White listed the likely locations for Dublin-born’s return.

Notably, the 53-year-old spoke to the Sports Business Journal about the recently concluded S1 of The Power Slap. Toward the end of the conversation, when asked about the looming question of the former UFC champion’s return, he remained hopeful of the same. Further, the UFC lynchpin set the timeline to the present year.

Dana White wants to sell out AT&T Stadium for Conor McGregor

While the American entrepreneur couldn’t disclose the exact details, he revealed he mulled over the famed AT&T Stadium. The stadium in Arlington, Texas serves as the home of the NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.

However, this was not the sole contender as the battleground for the two volatile lightweights.

Thus, the UFC head-honcho said, “You can do the Cowboys’ stadium, Madison Square Garden, obviously Vegas and (T-Mobile Arena or Allegiant Stadium)… We’re looking at all the different options.”

Markedly, the ‘Notorious’ last faced Dustin ‘Diamond’ Poirier at UFC 264. The 34-year-old lost the fight via doctor stoppage as he suffered a horrific leg injury. Since then, the SBG Ireland product is on the shelf nursing his broken leg.

Currently, the Irishman is busy shooting the TUF S31 but also setting up a training camp at Big Bear. After the completion of the TUF, both fighters will face each other at an event yet to be worked out.
