UFC President Dana White announced that Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the UFC will have to wait until at least 2025.

The former two-division champion, celebrated for his electrifying performances, will not be returning to the Octagon for another four months, as confirmed by White on Tuesday.

McGregor, with a record of 22-6, has been out of action for over three years.

His expected bout against lightweight contender Michael Chandler at UFC 303 this past summer was canceled after McGregor suffered a broken toe weeks before the event.

McGregor had been determined to return before the end of 2024, with Chandler (23-8) hopeful for a showdown at UFC 310 in December.

However, recent videos of McGregor partying have cast doubt on a 2024 return.

The Irishman last fought in July 2021, when he sustained a broken leg in a bout against Dustin Poirier.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
