Conor McGregor teases 'no name' foe for UFC comeback

Former two-division champion Conor McGregor ‌claims he's ready to return to the UFC, ‌and this time against a "no name" foe.

Sidelined since ​July 2021, McGregor has been rather vocal about returning to the Octagon.

McGregor (22-6) went so far ​as to take to social media on ⁠Saturday and note that he's just waiting ‌for ‌a ​contract to sign.

"It's a no name up next ⁠for me ​possibly, folks. ... I ACCEPT. ​Send the contract, lads," the 37-year-old ‌Irishman wrote in a ​now-deleted post.

UFC CEO Dana White poured ⁠cold water ⁠on ​McGregor's claim, however.

"If it was done and he accepted it, I would announce it," White said.

McGregor has not competed in the Octagon since sustaining a ‌broken leg ⁠in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in Las Vegas ‌in 2021.

His planned bout with Michael Chandler ​for UFC 303 in ​2024 was canceled after McGregor withdrew with an injury.
