Permanent mentor of the former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor Jonah Kavanagh said that the long-awaited return of his ward could take place next summer.
“We were hoping for April, that was the plan, that's what we were told, but now it looks like it will be summer. Is the UFC keeping him for International Fight Week? I don't know. We heard about April, but now it's July. It's not the end of the world, it's just a couple of months.
Of course, there is little good in this, but he is now enjoying training, so why not continue in the same spirit? “- the coach said on The MMA Hour.
Let us remember that McGregor has been idle since 2021, when he capitulated in the first round of his fight with Dustin Poirier due to a broken leg. In that meeting, the Irishman was awarded a defeat by technical knockout.
