Dana White Calls 2023 A ‘Great Fu**ing Year’ Despite Conor’s Absence

Earlier, Dana White had said even though Conor McGregor has already passed the date for reentering USADA’s drug testing pool, he may still compete in the UFC this year. But now, as per the reports, Conor McGregor will have to wait until 2024 to make his UFC return.

McGregor hasn’t competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in the first round in July 2021. That was his third defeat in his previous four fights, denting the reputation he had worked so hard to establish as he rose to the top of the promotion.

The 34-year-old is still one of the biggest names associated with the UFC, and if Jon Jones’ return is any indication, his appeal is unchanged by his protracted absence.
