Overall, the video clip left fans quite optimistic about the return of the former double-division champ, even though White mentioned nothing along that line. But it’s quite obvious from these reactions that a Conor McGregor fight announcement will be met with fanfare.
How soon can we expect McGregor to be back?

White’s video gave fans a lot to wonder about, and rightfully so. It’s been close to a year and a half since McGregor suffered a horrific injury in his fight against Dustin Poirier and his recovery and rehabilitation have also been well-covered during this time frame.
On a fitness level, the former double champ does look like he’s on the right track to making a return. This leads to the question: Is the UFC boss slightly referring to the Irishman’s return? It wouldn’t be surprising if an announcement took place early next year scheduling a fight at international fight week just like a fan hinted.
