McGregor reveals testing update and frustration with fight confirmation

Conor McGregor has recently expressed his frustrations with not being able to fight sooner. In a previous interview, Dana White had indicated that the UFC was hoping to secure his return “in the fall” of this year.

However, in a recent post on his Instagram story, the Irishman stated, “Still holding hope for June 29, lack of action on it, however, is now causing lack of enthusiasm. I need a decision soon. I am the most tested athlete under this new regime. Yet no date to fight.”

His comments indicate that while his previous issues with athlete testing that had hindered his scheduled clash with Michael Chandler last year after TUF 31 have been addressed, there is still doubt about a concrete date for the matchup.

As fans eagerly await McGregor’s comeback, his recent update has shown that the ball remains in the UFC and Dana White’s court to finalize the details and provide McGregor with the opportunity to step back into the spotlight of the Octagon. It would be proverbial to see him headline UFC’s International Fight Week on his return, since it was at the same event in 2021 that he suffered his leg break.
