Conor McGregor has hinted at frustration over his UFC return, accepting a 'no-name' opponent as he eyes a summer fight. The Irishman has not fought since 2021, when he broke his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier.
McGregor wrote on social media: 'It’s a no name up next for me possibly, folks [...] I ACCEPT. Send the contract, lads.' He later deleted the post but returned on Monday with: 'Day 15 of 'I accept, send the contract.''
UFC president Dana White said last week that the White House card on 14 June is 'built' and added of McGregor's next fight: 'If it was done and he accepted it, I would announce it.' White has ruled out Colby Covington and Michael Chandler as opponents.
McGregor suggested his contract needs reworking due to the UFC's new Paramount+ deal, which has ended pay-per-view. 'My contract essentially is void right now,' he claimed. 'I'm due a new contract.'
McGregor's return is expected at welterweight, where he is 2-1. His overall record is 22-6, having been the first dual-weight champion in UFC history.
