UFC President Dana White confirmed that Conor McGregor is likely to make his second appearance of the year very soon.

In fact, he reiterated the possible timeline for the return of “The Notorious“. In an interview with BT Sport, Dana said, “Conor had hit me up. And he is very interested in fighting too.”

However, one of Conor’s major concerns was whether there will be fans at the scene of the fight. Of course, a fight with McGregor’s name in it attracts fans from all over the globe. Thus, in Dana White’s own words, “It’s hard to do a Conor McGregor fight with no gate.”

Well, if Conor were to wait for fights with fans in attendance to resume, he might have to take yet another hiatus from fighting. But, fortunately, that is not the case.

Dana White confirmed that Conor is looking for a bout on the fight island. The fight island will be the UFC’s go-to place to conduct international fights. And evidently, the Irishman is looking forward to be on one of the cards.

“Listen, Conor is one of those guys. Again, say what you wanna about Conor. And everybody thinks that I’m always pumping Conor up and whatever. But, the truth is, I’ve been dealing with this kid for a long time. Conor McGregor wants to fight and he’ll fight anybody. Anywhere.”

This is something that Dana had also said when Conor returned in January. He had stated that while Conor is thirsty for his revenge against Khabib, he would fight anyone whom Dana pits him against.

And with Conor, there are various possibilities regarding his next fight. While many believe that he might just face the BMF Jorge Masvidal after Dana’s most recent statements, others predict that Conor might lock horns with Nate Diaz for their trilogy fight next.
