Will Conor McGregor be fighting either Logan Paul or KSI in India? Dana White clears the air 

UFC CEO Dana White has reacted to Conor McGregor's claims of facing either Logan Paul or KSI in his long-pending return to combat sports. The former UFC double champ recently announced he was in talks with the Ambani Family to fight Logan Paul in India.

McGregor last fought inside the UFC octagon in July 2021, suffering a broken tibia injury from rolling his ankle. He was scheduled to fight Micheal Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, before pulling out due to a broken toe.

'The Notorious' recently took to X to announce that the rumors of him fighting featherweight champion Ilia Topuria were untrue and he was in talks to fight Paul in India. He wrote:

"The rumors of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon."

Reacting to this announcement, White said McGregor will neither Paul nor KSI and hopes to see him compete in the octagon this fall. Appearing on Pardon My Take, White said (via MMA Orbit on X):

"Dana White says Conor McGregor will NOT fight either of Logan Paul or KSI in a boxing exhibition in India and hopes McGregor will return to the UFC in the fall."
