White says UFC is working on ‘some fun stuff’ for Conor McGregor: ‘He should be back next year’
Conor McGregor’s retirement from MMA this year always seemed uncertain, so it’s not surprising to hear the former two-weight UFC champ could return in 2021.
McGregor, 32, revealed in June that he was retired from fighting after the UFC was unable to offer him an intriguing fight following his 40-second stoppage win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. “Notorious” has shown no inklings of returning to the UFC since announcing his retirement, but according to Dana White he could be back next year.
Talking to ESPN earlier this week, White said whilst McGregor’s return to cage isn’t guaranteed they are working on “some fun stuff” for the Irishman.
