MMA fans finally have an answer, as the UFC boss, Dana White , on Friday, May 16, 2025, dismissed the idea of Conor McGregor ’s return to the Octagon. Supporters of the Irish fighter had a hope when the Notorious recently posted a set of cryptic words on his Instagram story, which were still dicey owing to the fighter’s previous vague statements of picking up the gloves again.
Conor McGregor’s vague comeback statement continues to be a mere gimmick as UFC CEO Dana White dismisses any possible bout for the fighterFormer UFC champion Conor McGregor was last seen going head-on against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, where the former broke his leg during the bout. Post that, the Irish fighter was supposed to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 but had to withdraw owing to a toe injury. Since then, there have been no signs of the fighter stepping back into the Octagon anytime soon. Instead of any concrete announcement or confirmation of a comeback bout, the fighter engages in posting occasional training clips and cryptic statements that partly hint at his return to the Octagon.
Recently, the fighter was seen posting a series of cryptic messages on his Instagram stories directed towards the UFC executives and the boss, Dana White. Across two different stories, his statements read
“@danawhite @tkogroup call that big b**t nurse”
“Let’s get this show started @ufc”
It has been quite some time since the fighter had last tagged the promotion and its executives directly in a comeback statement. Which is why fans were somewhat more optimistic rather than being sceptical about McGregor’s potential comeback.
But much to the dismay of the community, Dana White, on May 16, made a revelation about his recent interaction with McGregor, which crushed the hopes of the fans. In a recent clip, the UFC CEO makes a statement about the potential comeback of the fighter, “He is not fighting anytime soon. I haven’t talked to him in a minute. Yeah…I don’t know.”

Dana White, plain and simple, dismissed the fighter’s supposed request that was made via the Instagram stories. Fighters like Michael Chandler, too, waited for McGregor to step back into the Octagon before finally moving on with other fighters, thereby concentrating on their own careers. With White’s statement, McGregor’s claims become irrelevant, and fans can now be assured about the probable future of the fighter inside the Octagon.
