UFC CEO Dana White has revealed that the promotion's top star, former two-weight champion Conor McGregor is determined to return in December.
White had previously stated that the Irishman would definitely not be returning this year, but the latter has made it clear that he has very different plans.
"You can imagine that after I said that, Conor just got to me - I'm definitely going to fight this year! When we get to the point where we have a fight scheduled and I believe the Conor McGregor fight is going to happen, I will announce it. For now, I don't believe Conor will fight this year. Conor says he wants to fight in December and we'll see what happens," MMA Mania quotes White as saying.
