Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White has shared a
timeline for Conor
McGregor’s recovery following the Irish star’s anticlimactic
return at
UFC 329.

McGregor’s long-awaited comeback lasted just 69 seconds as the
former two-division champion suffered a knee injury in his rematch
against Max
Holloway with the first kick he threw. With one fight remaining
in his contract, “Notorious” has begun his rehabilitation and has
his sights set on his Octagon return. White has now weighed in on
when McGregor will be back.

Dana White updates Conor McGregor’s UFC return after ACL and
meniscus injury

Days after losing to Holloway, McGregor revealed that he suffered
an ACL and meniscus injury. The Irishman later claimed that he’s
targeting a return for the summer of 2027. Speaking to reporters
following Zuffa Boxing 9, White revealed that McGregor is expected
to be sidelined for a year.

McGregor recently shared a video on Instagram of his
rehabilitation, prompting speculation about his recovery. White has
now confirmed and reiterated the return timeline.

“I have no idea,” White said when asked about McGregor’s Instagram
post. “We had him on FaceTime tonight, ringside, but you know,
Conor McGregor’s out for a year.”

McGregor is eyeing International Fight Week in 2027 for the final
bout of his UFC contract.
