UFC President Dana White assured that the main star of the organization, the Irishman Conor McGregor, will definitely have a fight in 2018.

"Conor will return to UFC this year. We'll see where and when this happens, but McGregor will return this year - it's one hundred percent. It would be great if he came to UFC 223 tournament to promote fights, but most likely he will not be in Brooklyn," White said.

The Irish had his last appearance in the octagon in November 2016, when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez.
