CONOR MCGREGOR has hinted that his prolonged UFC return has once again been finalised.
The promotion’s first-ever simultaneous two-weight world champion hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier nearly five years ago.
McGregor, 37, was set to make his grand return last June against rival Ultimate Fighter season 31 coach Michael Chandler.
But he withdrew from their Sin City showdown at UFC 303 with a broken left pinky toe.
The Irishman is still hellbent on fighting again and has earmarked the promotion’s proposed White House card on June 14 as his comeback date.
And he’s suggested that his long-overdue clash with Chandler will top the bill of the historic card.
He recently shared a fan-made promo for his showdown with Chandler on his official Instagram page and included a cash house emoji in his caption.
McGregor’s suggestion that he’s set to appear on the White House card comes as he continues to serve a DOPING BAN.
The former two-division champion was hit with an 18-month suspension by the promotion in September for violating their anti-doping policy.
McGregor racked up three whereabouts failures by missing scheduled drug tests on June 13, September 19, and September 20, 2024.

Combat Sports Anti-Doping were initially set to give McGregor a two-year ban but reduced his suspension to 18 months due to his cooperation with the investigation and the circumstances surrounding his injury.
His period of ineligibility began on September 20, 2024 and is set to end on March 20, 2026.
Should McGregor fight on the White House card, the bout will be his first since he was found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in 2018.
McGregor lost his appeal of the verdict, which was turned in by a jury of his peers at Dublin’s High Court last November.
And earlier this month, the Supreme Court rejected McGregor’s bid for further appeal.
