Conor McGregor has regularly placed training images that suggest that he is going back seriously in the Octagon.
After the enormous announcement of the UFC's huge New Broadcast Deal, Dana White gave an update about whether the biggest star in the history of sport could return.
White said that McGregor insists on the map of the White House that will take place in 2026 after he has already introduced the test pool of the promotion.
Only a few days after the UFC boss said: “We will have to see how it takes place in the coming months,” a new update suggests that the purpose of the Irishman if there is something has taken a step back.

Conor McGregor is removed from the UFC grid while he continues to work on a return
As Dana White said, the UFC event in the White House in 2026 is still far away, so all conversations about Conor McGregor are premature to say the least.
That said, it seems that he spends more time in the gym to try to get ready for what a huge return would be.
It is more than four years ago that 'The Notorious' was last stepped on the Octagon on UFC 264, where his third fight with Dustin Poirier ended after he had been a considerable injury.
McGregor can regularly post fighting on the grass of the White House, but a new update from the UFC schedule tracker has suggested that there are some new complications.
An e -mail sent by the account, which produces automated updates through their website, claims that McGregor has now been removed from the active schedule of the promotion.
Although that does not mean that the Irishman could not return to the schedule by closing a deal with the promotion, and there is a chance that a mistake could have been made, it suggests that we can return to him further than 'the Mac' seems to believe.
Michael Chandler was skeptical about Conor McGregor who made a UFC refuse
If Conor McGregor returned to compete in the White House, Michael Chandler could have won a lot in view of their history with each other.
Unfortunately, 'Iron' Mike is not convinced at the moment that his rival will take the walk to the Octagon after all the time he brought away.
During a recent performance on the Ariel Helwani show, Chandler spoke about whether he could finally be confronted with McGregor during this event after he had already discussed it with the UFC about it.
“I know that I want to fight in the White House, I would like to fight against Conor, that is definitely a platform that would become Conor on the right and narrow to get focused on returning to the Octagon … If you are a gambler, I would not bet (McGregor comes back).”
“That octagon in the Witte House lawn has my name on it … I talked about it with the UFC. They know that I want to be on that card.
I would like to fight Conor. That is definitely a platform that might get conor on the right and narrow … If you are a gokman, I … pic.twitter.com/sacwuqc1qk
