Last month, Conor McGregor took the MMA world by storm by announcing his retirement. While interacting with MMA journalist Ariel Helwani on ESPN, Conor McGregor appeared to be vexed as he went on to state that the sport does not excite him anymore. However, many UFC fans didn’t fully believe McGregor’s claims as this was his third retirement announcement. Conor McGregor had previously announced his retirement in 2016 and 2019 before twice returning to the octagon.
Not just fans, but UFC chief Dana White also thinks that the former UFC champion could return to the company. Earlier, while talking about UFC 251 earnings, Dana White revealed that he wouldn’t be surprised if Conor McGregor returns and demands a money fight. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he (Conor McGregor) came out and wanted to fight somebody next year after all these different fights play out," said Dana White.
