UFC CEO Dana White has pushed back Conor McGregor's UFC return date yet again. Conor McGregor withdrew from UFC 303 in June due to a toe injury and is currently defending himself in a civil suit related to sexual assault allegations from 2018.

Dana White says Conor McGregor's planned return to the Octagon has been delayed once again after a three-plus-year hiatus from fighting.

Michael Chandler believes that Conor McGregor will forever ‘stain his legacy’ if he doesn’t fight him in his UFC return bout.

Then, in September, Chandler decided to accept a new opponent, with the American preparing to face Charles Oliveira on 16 November. That lightweight fight is set as the co-main event of UFC 309, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It is a rematch of the pair’s 2021 bout, which Oliveira won via TKO.

UFC President Dana White revealed that the new gloves that were developed for fighters will no longer be used.
