Notably, even McGregor himself confirmed this on his social media accounts. However, after Dana White’s comments, Paul seemed eager to reignite discussions about the matchup. Regarding McGregor’s fighting career, the Irishman hasn’t stepped into the octagon since his last UFC match against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. Since then, the Notorious has been eager to make a return to the sport.

However, due to various complications and injuries, McGregor has yet to re-enter the UFC or any other combat sport. Interestingly, there were discussions about him facing Michael Chandler in 2024, but that matchup never materialized.
