Overview
- Ariel Helwani reported McGregor met UFC officials on Monday, and his lack of post-meeting grievance posts was taken as a positive indicator.
- Reporters point to July 11 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas as the leading option for his return, though no bout agreement has been announced.
- Helwani named Nate Diaz and Max Holloway as potential opponents, and McGregor has also signaled interest in Charles Oliveira.
- McGregor posted “Precision beats power, and timing beats speed!” on X, a line he used after the Aldo knockout, fueling expectations of progress.
- He was left off the UFC Freedom 250 White House card and suggested being held for a larger arena event, while Michael Chandler is booked there against Mauricio Ruffy.
