Former two-division titleholder Conor McGregor won't make his anticipated return to the Octagon for at least four more months, UFC president Dana White said on Tuesday.
McGregor (22-6), who has been sidelined for more than three years, was to take on lightweight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 earlier this summer, but McGregor sustained a broken toe a few weeks before the date. "We talked.
We talked. We didn't meet up but we talked, and yeah, (McGregor) wants to fight. So we'll figure it out. (But) not this year.
He won't fight this year," White said Tuesday. McGregor had been adamant that he would re-enter the Octagon this year, and Chandler (23-8) expressed optimism that the two would meet at UFC 310 in Las Vegas in mid-December.
