UFC CEO Dana White weighed in on the possible return of former two-division champion Conor McGregor to the Octagon.

Conor McGregor’s long-discussed comeback still appears to be moving in the right direction, according to UFC CEO Dana White, who addressed the situation after the promotion’s event in Vancouver.

“Everything looks good. You know that as soon as we get a deal done with him, we’ll announce it,” White said at the post-fight press conference following UFC Vancouver.

McGregor had previously said he intends to make his first MMA appearance since 2021 sometime this summer.
