Dana White is probably most often asked about Conor McGregor and when he's set to return. The UFC President often finds himself answering questions about the Irishman and things have not changed.
Conor McGregor has not fought since July 2021 after fracturing his ankle against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. Many are excited about his potential return in 2022.
“I think so, yeah,” White told TMZ when he was asked if McGregor will return to the cage in 2022.
“He’s doing all the right things with his leg. I’m hoping he can come back this summer.”
There have been talks about Conor McGregor facing the UFC lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira. Chael Sonnen recently added fuel to the fire when he talked about the potential fight.
“If there’s anybody that Conor is likely to beat to become the world champion, it is the sitting champion right now,” fighter-turned-analyst Chael Sonnen said of the prospective matchup earlier this month on his YouTube channel (h\t The Mac Life.)
“Charles Oliveira-Conor McGregor is a fascinating matchup. It is very problematic for Oliveira. Conor McGregor is as good of a striker as this sport has ever seen. Oliveira is a very dynamic striker who showed some real wrestling prowess in a couple of contests but in other contests didn’t.
“Conor can handle himself on the ground. Conor can take care of himself on the feet. The in-between has been a problem with very high-level guys. So now you start to have a question of, is Oliveira a really high level guy? Is he that high enough of a level guy? I don’t have the answers to these questions. I’m just sharing for you, however this goes, the fans are going to get something very special.”
