When will Conor McGregor return from injury?

Conor McGregor prefers to share his training highlights with fans on social media but has not done so very often since breaking his toe in preparation for his fight with Michael Chandler. While his team has not given an official update, 'The Notorious' has said he wants to return in late 2024 though Dana White was pessimistic about that being a reality.

McGregor has teased a potential return on social media, telling fans he is recovering well and is "smooth" in training, but does not seem to have a fight upcoming.

McGregor has not fought since 2021, losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The fight ended with McGregor breaking his leg in the first round, thus leading to a lengthy recovery period.
