Welcome to Midnight Mania! It looks like Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC is going to take longer than expected, with Dana White revealing during the Contenders Series on August 13, 2024, that McGregor is unlikely to make a comeback this year despite his eagerness to get back into the Octagon.
Fans are feeling the absence of McGregor, who is undeniably one of the biggest stars in the sport. Speculations about the reasons behind his extended break range from possible Hollywood projects to strategic negotiations with ESPN as the UFC’s contract renewal approaches early next year.
While we wait for McGregor’s return, the UFC has announced an exciting card for September 7. The lineup includes Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady and Jessica Andrade vs. Natalia Silva as the co-main event, promising an action-packed night for MMA enthusiasts.
In other updates, Denis Tiuliulin’s recent loss at UFC Vegas 95 has resulted in his removal from the UFC roster. On a different note, Shakur Stevenson may not always deliver action-packed fights, but his defensive skills continue to impress spectators.
The world of MMA is known for its unpredictability and drama, so expect more thrilling moments and surprises in the martial arts arena in the days to come!
