Things definitely haven’t gone as planned for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in June.
due to injury. The former two-division champ is the UFC’s biggest star, but he hasn’t competed for nearly three years since breaking his leg in July 2021. While McGregor vowed to be back soon in a statement released on social media, the exact nature of his injury — as well as a timeline for his recovery — is unclear.
After a hectic couple of weeks, UFC CEO Dana White won’t speculate on when McGregor might be ready to return to action.. “And from here on I’m not going to talk about it until when he’s healed and he’s right. Then we’ll look at the landscape and see what we can figure out.”All things considered, White is happy with the way things turned out under adverse circumstances.
“It’s been interesting because we had to switch the Saudi main event, which is next weekend, you know what I mean?” White said. “It’s f—-ing days away, so for us to put in this guy who is 15-1, he’s Muslim and his only loss is to Khamzat Chimaev, and everyone in the division said no to fighting him except Robert Whittaker . … I’m very happy .
