UFC President Dana White has explained why Conor McGregor’s return to the Octagon is taking longer than expected.

Additionally, White noted that McGregor’s financial stability could also impact his return timeline.

He revealed, “Conor McGregor doesn’t need the f*cking money. So when you don’t need the money, it’s not as easy”.  As McGregor prepares for his long-awaited and highly speculated upon return, fans eagerly await news of his next bout as UFC 300 seems to be out of the equation for ‘The Notorious’s return!
