Dana White Says Conor McGregor Is Nowhere Near Ready For A UFC Title Fight

Conor McGregor fractured his ankle at the end of the first round of his UFC 264 fight against Dustin Poirier. Since then McGregor has been on a path of destruction that resulted in McGregor saying a lot of controversial remarks. It seems Dana White dashed Conor McGregor’s hopes for a title fight as well.

The Notorious One has been hard at work recovering from his injury over the past several months and has noticeably bulked up in anticipation of his return, though Dustin Poirier thinks he looks puffy. McGregor also never won a single fight in 2021.

Conor McGregor recently made it clear that he wants a shot at Charles Oliveira’s UFC Lightweight Championship once he returns to the Octagon and fans got excited about it as well.

While speaking to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports, Dana White was asked about Conor McGregor competing for Charles Oliveira’s UFC Lightweight Championship. White made it clear McGregor is nowhere near ready for a title fight.

“Conor’s nowhere near ready to start fighting again. Conor still has to go through a lot of s***.”

Conor McGregor is expected to make his return by the Summer of this year, especially in July. We will have to wait and see if he will end up getting a title shot somewhere down the line or not.
