Love him or hate him, you simply can’t deny that Dana White is ruling the combat sports business today. Although it was a steadfast climb to the top, it was White‘s unwavering belief in the UFC and in himself that has now put him and the promotion to the pinnacle of success. Not just himself, the UFC has given careers to many MMA fighters. And a pretty amazing one to some, Conor McGregor, for instance. ‘The Notorious’ has been able to make a fortune for himself during his tenure in the UFC and now stands as the richest fighter in the promotion.

Dana White in dark about McGregor’s return
Although there was a word in the grapevine that Dana White is looking for Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler upon the former’s return. And this news certainly overjoyed the fans, as well as Chandler, who has been yearning for this fight for quite some time now. But frustrated with these speculations, Dana White has given a rather unpleasant clarification on that. “I don’t even know when Conor McGregor’s coming back.” said the UFC president.
White has made himself very clear by saying that he never confirmed McGregor vs. Chandler, and these are all just baseless rumors. Well, it appears that McGregor fans will have to wait a little longer until they make any official confirmations. However, ‘The Notorious’ has hinted at the 2023 return on several occasions, but again, that holds no confirmation as of now.
