It’s official … Dana White tells TMZ Sports he’s definitely stripping Conor McGregor’s lightweight title, so Khabib and Tony Ferguson can fight for the “real” belt.

He hopes Conor returns to the octagon in August or Sept. to fight the winner of that match.

Then again, with the kind of money Conor made in his last fight … Dana says, “Conor might never come back.”

Apparently Conor is fed up with the “he might never come back” narrative Dana White has trotted out several times because he posted this message on Instagram revealing that he wanted to come back at fight at UFC 122 on short notice but the UFC wouldn’t let him do it. McGregor also vowed to return to the Octagon because “he’s the best at it”.

I am fighting again. Period.
I am the best at this.
I put my name forward to step in at UFC 222 to face Frankie Edgar when Max Holloway pulled out, but I was told there wasn’t enough time to generate the money that the UFC would need.
I was excited about bouncing in last minute and taking out the final featherweight, without all the rest of the stuff that comes with this game. Please respect the insane amount of work outside the fight game that I have put in.
On top of the fighting.
I am here.
It is on them to come and get me. Because I am here.
Yours sincerely,
The Champ Champ™

Can’t wait to see Conor back in the cage.
