Dana White Breaks Silence on Conor McGregor’s July Return
Dana White has answered the question of the hour: Will Conor McGregor fight in July on the International Fight Week card?
McGregor has been going all out during training sessions and is doing all it takes to return with a bang. He’s also the most tested UFC fighter this year, and the promotion is making sure their biggest draw stays clean before any serious comeback talks commence.
Recently, McGregor also informed fans that the rumors of him fighting in July are “true,” and he’s coming to “save fighting again.” The Dubliner wrote on his Instagram:
“The rumours are true! Mr. Confidence returns to save fighting again! Call your grandma! Nanny, we did it! Watch and pay me. F**k you, pay me. You fat Irish prick, you don’t have my money. I put your brain to sleep. See ya’s in the Casinos after, the Mac loves yas all, I got love for yas all, it’s an honor, it’s light work, it’s easy… Hey @paramountplus, see you guys soon, I’m so excited! And Born Ready. The Notorious Conor McGregor.

When Conor McGregor returns, he’s expected to run it back with former UFC BMF and featherweight champ Max Holloway. “Blessed” has also shown interest in a rematch and is game to even move up to welterweight to fight the Irishman.
According to Ariel Helwani and Jon Anik, Holloway is the frontrunner to face McGregor next.
