Conor McGregor’s return to the Octagon will have to wait.

UFC president Dana White said Tuesday that McGregor will not fight in 2024, according to Sportsnet’s Aaron Bronsteter.

McGregor was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June but had to pull out after injuring his toe during training.

Last month, McGregor suggested on social media that the match will be rescheduled in 2024. But we now know that won’t be the case.

McGregor, 35, has not fought since he broke his leg in a bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July of 2021.

UFC President Dana White has officially confirmed that Conor McGregor will not be competing in the year 2024. This news comes as a disappointment to many fans who were hoping to see the Irish fighter back in action.

McGregor, who is known for his brash personality and knockout power, has been one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts for years. However, his recent string of losses and legal troubles have raised questions about his future in the sport.

In a recent interview, White stated that McGregor will be taking some time off to focus on his personal life and other business ventures. While the UFC president did not give a specific reason for McGregor’s absence in 2024, it is clear that the fighter needs to take a step back and reevaluate his career.

Many fans and analysts have speculated on what this means for McGregor’s future in the UFC. Some believe that he may never return to the octagon, while others think that he will use this time off to come back stronger than ever.

Regardless of what the future holds for McGregor, one thing is certain: his absence will be felt in the world of mixed martial arts. The sport will be missing one of its biggest stars, and fans will have to wait and see if McGregor will ever make a comeback.
