Conor McGregor hints at a return to the UFC, eyeing a fight against a "no name" opponent. The former two-weight champion (22-6) has been sidelined since July 2021 but expresses interest in a 2026 bout, especially at the UFC's White House event in June. McGregor takes to social media, stating, "It's a no name up next for me possibly, folks. I ACCEPT. Send the contract, lads." This follows a deleted post where he mentioned accepting an opponent and date. Initially set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, McGregor withdrew due to an injured toe. UFC CEO Dana White confirms McGregor's comeback but indicates it won't be against Chandler. McGregor's last fight ended in a broken leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. His division for a 2026 return remains uncertain.
