The question that MMA fans have asked themselves most in recent years is: 'When Conor McGregor returns to the UFC?'. Apparently not even Dana White has that answer at the moment. In an interview with journalist 'Kevin Iole', the president of Ultimate said he has no idea when the Irishman will return to acting professionally and cited reasons that question whether this will even happen.

“Firstly, he’s coming back from one of the nastiest injuries you can come back from. How long does the Anderson Silva Were you out when you suffered this injury? how much time Chris Weidman Were you out when you suffered this injury? The guys who break this bone are out for a long time, so this is a really serious problem. The second problem is that Conor McGregor Don't need money. So when you don't need money, it's not that easy. Khabib Nurmagomedov he doesn’t need the money and he retired,” Dana said.

Dana White also cited the current financial condition of Conor McGregor, as one of the factors that could prevent the former double champion from returning to perform in the most famous octagon in the world.

“Only Conor will know when he’s ready. These are questions for Conor McGregor, not for me. I know he's training. I don't know what level of training he is having. I don't know what his shooting level is like now. I don't know anything about that. I need to know when the guy is in a full camp and he's ready to fight. Conor McGregor There's a film to be released. He has businesses that he built. It’s a completely different dynamic when you’re dealing with a guy who has that amount of money”, concluded the Ultimate president.
