UFC star Conor McGregor has spoken about his desire to make up for the loss he suffered due to a leg injury against Dustin Poirier back in 2021.

McGregor hasn't competed since July 2021 and hasn't won a fight since January 2020, yet he remains the biggest star in MMA today. After suffering a major injury in a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor has focused on business moves while planning a return to fighting – including becoming a co-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

ESPN reports that McGregor agreed to an 18-month period of ineligibility. The suspension started on September 20, 2024 and ends on March 20, 2026, making him eligible to participate in next June's White House card. Michael Chandler has provided an update on his anticipated fight with Conor McGregor.

Hand was awarded €248,000 (£206,000) in damages. McGregor lost his civil jury appeal. Since then, a return to the UFC has been touted with several reports suggesting that the 37-year-old could he involved in a UFC event held at the White House.
