Ariel Helwani calls for Conor McGregor to headline UFC 300 in fighting return: ‘He is ready to go’

Veteran mixed martial arts reporter, Ariel Helwani has called for former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor to make his return to the Octagon at a monumental UFC 300 event in April of next year – snapping his three-year hiatus from the sport. And also wants to see the Dubliner’s teammate, Dillon Danis make a UFC debut on the same card.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to former interim champion, Dustin Poirier in the pair’s rubber trilogy fight.
