UFC president Dana White acknowledged during the post-fight press conference for UFC 328 that a contract with Irish fighter and former two-division champion Conor McGregor has yet to be signed. However, he expressed strong confidence that McGregor will return this summer.
“The deal with Conor isn’t closed. I was just saying I’m confident. I was confident last year too, but this year I’m way more confident. Yeah,” White said, as quoted by EssentiallySports.
The anticipated announcement of McGregor’s comeback, expected on Saturday, never materialized. Journalist Ariel Helwani had previously stated that the UFC would make the fight official within 24 hours, but it did not happen.
