Looks like his recent defeat to Nate Diaz won’t be slowing Conor McGregor down in any way.
Dana White confirmed that McGregor will be returning to the Octagon this July at UFC 200.
“He wants to jump back in there, and he wants to fight again. We’re working on who the next opponent will be.”
During the UFC 196 post-fight press conference, McGregor said he’d likely defend his 145-pound title in his next fight. It would be his first title defense, and according to White, “The Notorious” will fight again at UFC 200.
“In this business, it has to burn. It has to be a desire inside you to fight. Conor McGregor is a perfect example. This guy’s going to turn around and fight on [UFC ] 200 again,” White said.
