However, a recent update from Dana White has given new hope to fans who have been anxiously awaiting news since mid-June.

When the UFC boss hosted an Instagram Live after a PowerSlap event and answered a series of questions that fans asked him. For most At the top of the list was McGregor and an update on his situation. Then White mentioned:

“…We talked about Conor today. There will be news about Conor soon…”
