It looks like Conor McGregor will be on the air at the first UFC pay-per-view of 2025.
'Notorious' will almost certainly still be eyeing the main event of UFC 311, where Islam Makhachev and Renato Moicano will battle for the Irishman's old lightweight title after Arman Tsarukyan's injury-induced late withdrawal from the card.
In the co-main event, bantamweight king Merab Dvalishvili will defend his title against Umar Nurmagomedov, the cousin of Conor McGregor's most bitter UFC rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The former dual-weight champion usually tweets along on big fight nights, but only time will tell if he will do so as he travels across the United States with his old coach, John Kavanagh.

Conor McGregor travels for Donald Trump's inauguration
On Saturday, McGregor's trainer shared a photo of them posing in front of a jet plane.
Kavanagh added the caption to explain that they crossed the pond on his 47th birthday.
However, that is not the reason for their journey. McGregor will attend Donald Trump's inauguration, and it looks like Kavanagh will be his plus one at Monday's huge political event.
“It will be an unforgettable birthday! On our way to the inauguration with the champion,” Kavanagh captioned his Instagram post.
“Thanks for the invite @thenotoriousmma, we had some memorable January 18th!”
Dana White provides Conor McGregor update
McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
Over the past few weeks, rumors of boxing fights involving Logan Paul and KSI have been piling up online.
UFC boss Dana White recently issued a public response to 'Mystic Mac' being courted again by the boxing world after earning $100 million to face Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
“No,” the MMA mogul replied when asked if McGregor will fight Paul during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast.
“No, no, no,” White added when the prospect of McGregor vs. KSI was brought up.
“Hopefully Conor McGregor will return in the fall of this year.”
