Dana White teases huge Conor McGregor announcement ahead of UFC 300

Dana White has teased a huge Conor McGregor announcement ahead of this month's UFC 300 card.

The promotion's historic UFC 300 event is just over a week away and there could be a blockbuster announcement in Las Vegas.

That's judging by White's social media activity as he personally confirmed that McGregor is returning to action soon.

The Irish star hasn't fought since July 2021 when he suffered an ankle break in his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

But he's recovered and is raring to go, claiming a summer date is in the works - thought to be UFC 303 on June 29.

Fight fans online noticed a huge difference in McGregor, which suggested training camp is already underway.

Ahead of an official announcement, White took to social media to provide a big update.

The UFC CEO posted a video of the 'Notorious' on Instagram, accompanied with the caption: "Coming soon......"

Last month, during Road House media obligations, the 35-year-old revealed that he received a call from the UFC about his return.

"We got confirmation a few days ago that it's all systems go," he said.

"And 'The Mac', 'The Notorious' will be returning to the UFC Octagon this summer."

McGregor has been away from the famed Octagon for almost three years.

He's on a two-fight losing skid, having lost back-to-back fights to Poirier.

His last win in the UFC came against Donald Cerrone back in January 2020.

UFC 300, meanwhile, takes place on April 13, with a stacked card set for the T-Mobile Arena.

In the main-event, Alex Pereira defends his UFC light-heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill.

Zhang Weili puts her UFC women's strawweight title on the line against fellow Chinese combatant Yan Xiaonan.

Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway, Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan and Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage, among other bouts, are also scheduled for UFC 300.
