So, if he says he does, I’m not going to doubt him.”Kavanagh also offered an update on McGregor’s physical condition, suggesting that a return to MMA training may have to wait until 2027.“We’ll see. I guess it’ll be next year until he can start returning to MMA type training. He’s going through his rehab now and he’s back. He looks pretty good to me.”“He looks to be moving around quite well. I just don’t know if he’s done with competition just yet. What does that look like? I don’t know.”Read more:Dana White admits ‘I didn’t want women in the UFC’ and reveals how Ronda Rousey changed his mind‘Rough year’ – Dana White breaks silence on Herb Dean’s King Green stoppageJustin Gaethje urges voters to let Donald Trump ‘finish his job’ at Republican National Convention
