After UFC 327, Dana White was asked to weigh in on former UFC double champion Conor McGregor’s much-awaited return to the octagon.
McGregor is the most tested fighter so far in 2026. The promotion has been making sure the Irishman stays clean before any serious comeback talks commence. Previously, the Dubliner wanted to be a part of the June 14 White House card, but later it was revealed that the UFC wouldn’t waste its biggest draw on an event where they wouldn’t generate any profit.
Now, McGregor is rumored to be returning in July at UFC 329 during International Fight Week, and among potential opponents are Max Holloway, Charles Oliveira, and Nate Diaz, among others.

The UFC 329 fighter lineup has not been announced. Meanwhile, earlier today, at the UFC 327 post-fight presser, when Dana White was asked:
Conor McGregor, anything new with him?”
White said:
“Same old.”
