LAS VEGAS – It’ll be at least four more months before UFC fans see Conor McGregor compete again, according to promotion CEO Dana White. The saga involving McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has dragged on for over three years, through leg surgery and recovery, an “ Ultimate Fighter ” coaching stint, a booking, a withdrawal due to a toe injury, and to present day. For much of that time, McGregor has been aligned with Michael Chandler , who remains waiting for another official booking against his penciled-in foe. But Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will have to wait even longer now. White revealed Tuesday after Dana White’s Contender Series 67 that McGregor won’t return until at least early 2025. “He wants to fight, so we’ll figure it out,” White told reporters including MMA Junkie.
