UFC CEO Dana White says the promotion's top star Conor McGregor won't return to the octagon until early next year at the earliest.

"I was the one who said McGregor wouldn't fight this year. Even though the fight was announced and the press conference. Conor will fight early next year.

Does he still have a hunger for fights? You know, he's a very rich guy who had a lot of free time on his hands. We'll find out soon enough. This is one of the biggest stars in the sport that has given the UFC a worldwide reputation. This is a great athlete and our good friend," White said in an interview with YouTube channel New York Post Sports.
