RUMOR| McGregor not returning to UFC in 2018 planning Mayweather rematch in December

Dana White had headed to Liverpool to catch Darren Till V Wonderboy and on his way to the country made it public that he was planning on meeting with Conor McGregor while in England. The meeting between Dana White and Conor was unfortunately canceled, and is expected to be rescheduled for Las Vegas at a later date.

Following the UFC Liverpool event, Dana White was asked questions about the possibility of a return for Conor McGregor and a possible matchup with Khabib Nurmagomedov, to which he replied that the company was in a “wait and see” in regards to June and Conor McGregor’s court issues stemming from an assault which took place on the back loading dock of the Barclay’s Arena leaving several people injured, and ultimately causing UFC 223 to lose several bouts from the fight card.

McGregor while has gone on record as to saying he has figured out Mayweather’s style and in boxing rematch could beat him, has not spoken to Dana White since the incident in Brooklyn leading to his arrest in New York, however any fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov is almost all but guaranteed to pay him less than a rematch against Floyd Mayweather.  Will we see Conor return to the boxing ring in 2018 or will news of his UFC return be made official?
