Amid continued links to a potential headlining slot on what promises to be a blockbuster UFC 300 card in April of next year, Conor McGregor’s long-anticipated return to the Octagon has once more been cast into doubt by Dana White, who alluded to a current lack of “hunger” to compete for the Dubliner.
McGregor, 35, 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, suffering a gruesome fractured left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
