Conor McGregor will appear in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Thursday. And just a few days later, if all goes according to plan, he and Dana White will finally meet.
“He and I are meeting on the 18th of this month,” the UFC president today told TMZ.
This marks the third time in three weeks that talk of a meeting between McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and White has come up. Prior to UFC Fight Night 130, White said he and McGregor would meet in Liverpool to discuss the former two-division champion’s future, but that didn’t happen as expected. After the event, White said he planned to meet with McGregor in Las Vegas but didn’t specify a date.
White didn’t specify a location this time around to TMZ.
McGregor, who hasn’t had an MMA fight since November 2016, was stripped of the UFC lightweight title following new champ Khabib Nurmagomedov’s victory in April at UFC 223 in Brooklyn. The last time McGregor took part in a combat sports event was for his loss to Floyd Mayweather in their boxing match last August.
Whether or not McGregor will fight again remains anybody’s guess, though recent posts on social media suggest he’s actively training. Even if he does come back, McGregor still has pending legal issues to resolve stemming from his infamous bus attack at Barclays Center during UFC 223 fight week.
McGregor will be in court Thursday to answer to multiple charges stemming from the videotaped rampage, resulting in three charges of assault and one count of criminal mischief. All indications, according to USA TODAY Sports, signal McGregor likely is headed toward a plea deal and won’t do any jail time.
White isn’t sure what to expect.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” White said. “I don’t know what Conor has planned. I don’t know what Conor and his team have worked on. Whatever happens tomorrow, I will be as shocked as you.”
