Conor McGregor says he will make his UFC return on 18 January 2020 – despite announcing his retirement from mixed martial arts earlier this year.
The 31-year-old has not fought in the octagon since his defeat by Russia’s Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018.
McGregor told a news conference yesterday that he is “in prime physical condition” to fight.
He added that he had agreed the return date with the UFC, and that he would also seek a later bout in Moscow against the winner of Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, who are set to fight in early 2020.
