Dana White
Conor McGregor Has A Long Road Back to the Ring …
If He Even Wants to Return
Published
Dana White says Conor McGregor will have to go through surgery and extensive physical therapy because of his knee injury … which will at least give him time to think about his future.
We caught up with the UFC President and CEO at Fanatics Fest 2026 in New York City Saturday … and we had to ask him about Conor’s recent loss by TKO to Max Holloway after a knee injury ended the brawl.

Dana says he’s talked to Conor recently … and the fighter is obviously sad and frustrated about how his comeback ended.
Conor has to go through extensive recuperation to heal his knee, Dana says … and he thinks some of that time needs to be spent by Conor looking inward — and figuring out if he wants to return to combat sports.
While Dana seems less than sure that Conor will make a comeback, Conor’s already talking about it … saying he wants to fight Holloway again in a rematch.
Speaking of Holloway … we also asked Dana about people knocking Max for celebrating his win even though Conor couldn’t continue because of injury … and he’s got an interesting take on the whole situation. Watch the clip all the way through to hear it.
The Notorious isn’t one to give up … stay tuned!
