UFC CEO, Dana White has confirmed that while a deal has yet to be trashed out to see former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor headline UFC 303 in a June return, current plans are in the works for the Dubliner to feature atop the card during International Fight Week.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined from action since he fractured his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat to common-foe, Dustin Poirier back in 2021.
Expected to take on his Ultimate Fighter 31 rival, Michael Chandler in his return to action, Conor McGregor has claimed since the end of last year that he would be headlining a UFC 303 card at the end of June during International Fight Week, without official confirmation from the organization, however.
