UFC News - Conor McGregor next fight claim
The UFC brass are hopeful of having Conor McGregor make his long-awaited return to the Octagon at UFC 229 on October 6 or UFC 232 on December 29, according to ESPN's Ariel Helwani.
“Conor really hasn’t said much,” Helwani told Molly Querim during an Instagram Live broadcast. “He’s very quiet because of the legal stuff.
“That should hopefully get wrapped up on July 26 in Brooklyn. So then we’ll get a better sense of when he’ll be able to return.
“But that’s the fight, no doubt about it, that the UFC wants. And they’re hoping that he’ll return, Conor will, in October or December. That’s what they’re thinking of right now. But a lot of crazy things happen.”

UFC News - Darren Till's next opponent
UFC welterweight title contender Darren Till will meet with the UFC brass later this week to discuss his next fight.
In a recent Instagram post, Till said: “Vegas Wednesday to watch @ufc 226 & plan my next fight, Anfield Square Garden. Peace motherf*****s.”
Till, 25, hasn’t set foot inside the Octagon since defeating Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at UFC Fight Night 130 in May.
The fighting pride of Liverpool is willing to face whoever the UFC brass puts in front of him, saying: “I don’t care who is next.
"I want anybody. I want everybody,” Till said in the aftermath of his unanimous decision victory over Thompson.
"I don’t care if I get a title shot next. I want to fight all of these guys. Everyone will get it from me.”
