Conor McGregor's long-awaited return to the UFC won't happen this year. UFC president Dana White addressed the future of the former two-division champion after the season debut of "Dana White's Contender Series" on Tuesday. While he was optimistic that McGregor would compete again for the promotion, White made it clear that a fight with Michael Chandler will not happen before the end of the year. "We talked and he wants to fight," White said when asked when McGregor will return to the Octagon. "We'll figure it out. Not this year. He won't fight this year." McGregor didn't take long to respond, dashing off a post on X that took issue with White pushing off his return until at least 2025. "Ah Dana, December is the date," he wrote. "Bring the calendar year home with a winning event! Come on now, what's this? I am off to altitude next month to prepare. December! Tell Dana and UFC we want December! We deserve December!"
