Dana White is hopeful Conor McGregor will make his return to UFC around the midway point of next year.
After McGregor’s pay per view extravaganza with Floyd Mayweather, there has been speculation whether McGregor’s next fight will take place in an octagon or ring. While there has not yet been any indication either way, UFC president Dana White seems to have next summer as a target for McGregor to return to mixed martial arts.

Manny Pacquiao has reportedly initiated talks with McGregor about a fight. There has also been talk of a potential mega-fight between McGregor and Georges St-Pierre. One thing we do know, McGregor will be well compensated for his next bout, whenever it takes place.
