But while many fans are hoping for McGregor’s return at UFC 300, the Irish star recently made an interesting statement that doesn’t align with Dana White’s prediction for his comeback.

Conor McGregor announces his return will be sooner than White had claimed

Speculation has been swirling around UFC 300, with fans eager for news of Conor McGregor’s possible return at the event. However, Dana White recently revealed that the Irish star’s comeback will likely happen in the fall of this year.

But McGregor has made it clear that he is planning on returning sooner than when the UFC CEO has claimed. In a now-deleted post on X, McGregor stated, “Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest sporting days for my friends in the States, second only to the Mac’s return to the octagon this summer!”

Despite McGregor’s apparent readiness, White hasn’t clarified the reasons behind the delay in matchmaking, leaving fans curious about his return to action, with McGregor’s statement adding another layer to the ongoing speculation!
