The UFC President Dana White told reporters about his conversation with Conor McGregor. White maintained that McGregor wanted to compete again and would work on getting back to fighting shape. In recent weeks, McGregor has talked trash against Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira.

It led the reporters to question whether McGregor would fight someone other than Michael Chandler. However, White maintained that the plan remains for a McGregor vs. Chandler bout at the moment. The Oliveira and Gaethje fights could still be on the table in the future. However, the Chandler fight should happen now to see where McGregor ranks in the lightweight division.

Dana White also stated that McGregor likes to mess with the minds of the media and his opponents to confuse them. It has been over two years since McGregor fought in the octagon. The current version of McGregor needs to challenge Chandler to assess his future in the UFC.
