White sets deadline for McGregor's return to the octagon

UFC President Dana White commented on rumors that the promotion has begun work on organizing the next fight with the participation of the ex-champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor.

“At the moment, I have nothing for him, because he is not ready, and by the summer the alignment may change. We'll see when he's really ready to fight. When the doctor allows him to speak, we will start looking for opponents for him.

If everything is fine with his leg and he gets permission to resume training, then he will probably return in early autumn, ”White is quoted by The Sun.

Recall that last year McGregor suffered two defeats by technical knockout from Dustin Poirier. In the second fight, held in July, the Irishman broke his leg.
