McGregor’s Return Hangs in Balance, UFC 300 Uncertain
With UFC 300 looming just two months away, the much-anticipated event finds itself without a main fight, leaving fans and fighters alike in suspense. Dana White, the UFC president, has finally shed some light on the reasons behind Conor McGregor’s delayed comeback, though his explanations raise more questions than answers. “The Notorious” McGregor has been vocal about his eagerness to return to the octagon, even hinting at a potential shift to boxing to make his point.
Despite the dwindling options for a headliner as notable fighters like Jon Jones and Khamzat Chimaev have ruled out their participation, and middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis doubts his readiness, the absence of a major star is felt. McGregor, expected to fight Michael Chandler last year, now eyes a summer return, while White hopes for a fall event.
