“I Have Just Been Offered to…”: Dana White Acknowledges Conor McGregor Admitting to Coaching in ‘TUF’ Again

We keep edging close to an inevitable Conor McGregor return as the year progresses, which was hinted at by the Notorious one himself. In what has been a pattern as of the last half-decade, McGregor has been on the hinges of being labeled an inactive martial artist. 

The Irishman suffered a career-threatening injury in July 2021 when he snapped his tibia and fibula against Dustin Poirier. He lost the bout via TKO. And also sustained successive losses in MMA for the first time in his highly accomplished career.

The 34-year-old has since been rehabilitating the injury, which has seen his endeavor to overcome the grave injury. In his absence, although the UFC has a few acclaimed stars in its palms, the promotion hasn’t fared all too well financially.

As such, the fighting company will be elated that their star is eyeing a comeback to competition. As confirmed by McGregor himself initially, which was then acknowledged by UFC President Dana White.

Although they hit a rut in the recent past, a rejuvenated version captivated the attention of the sports supporters once again. McGregor and his opponent will clash in what could potentially be the 31st season of the show, provided the logistics are cleared and the contest comes to fruition. 

Nonetheless, the matter of paramount significance is that we will be witnessing the return of a UFC pioneer this year.
