While no return date has been made official for “Mystic Mac”, Dana White is confident that the Irish stars next scrap will once again take place under the bright lights of Las Vegas.

The UFC President is not ruling out the possibility that Conor McGregor could headline UFC 219 which takes place December 30 live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Dana White did not make any mention of a possible opponent for “Mystic Mac” this evening. However, he has stated in past interviews that current interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson would receive the next shot at McGregor’s crown.

Conor McGregor has made it very clear in recent interviews that he is looking to obtain a stake in the promotion before agreeing to any new fight offers with the UFC.

McGregor’s last octagon appearance came at UFC 205 in New York where he knocked out Eddie Alvarez thus becoming the first fighter in promotional history to earn two titles in two different weight classes simultaneously.

Do you think we will get to see a lightweight title unification bout between Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor headline UFC 219 in Las Vegas this December? Sound off PENN Nation!
