UFC eyes potential comebacks from Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor

Former lightweight champion Dustin Poirier said he would consider ending his retirement only to face Nate Diaz, stating in a recent interview that no other opponent would tempt him and that he would undergo hip surgery before such a bout.

UFC president Dana White expressed strong confidence that former two‑division champion Conor McGregor will fight again this year, describing his condition as “great” and emphasizing that the Irish fighter is poised for a return after his last bout in July 2021.

Both comments signal the promotion’s anticipation of high‑profile returns that could reshape upcoming fight cards.
