It's been nearly one year (November 12th) since Conor McGregor last fought inside the octagon, and now that UFC 218 is in the rearview mirror, one of the questions fans want an answer to is when is McGregor coming back.

 

Up to this point, we don't have a definitive answer to that question, but as per Los Angeles Times reporter Lance Pugmire, we do have some interesting information about McGregor and UFC 219.

It's important to note that after UFC 219, there will be another event in Vegas later in 2018 (UFC 222, March 3rd), so there's no guarantee McGregor makes his return before the new year.

That said, we can't help but be excited by the prospect of watching McGregor in a high-profile fight a day before we ring in the new year.

All we can do now is speculate, though, and ask the fans out there who they'd like to see McGregor fight when he returns to the octagon, so let us know by tweeting us @BarDown.
