Dana White has CONFIRMED Conor McGregor is returning on July 29 against Michael Chandler.

The press room erupts in excitement as White reveals the good news.

Pereira’s secret injury

White reveals Pereira fought on a broken toe – but kept it a secret.

The Brazilian was not willing to let the opportunity of a lifetime pass him by and fought through the pain.

Dana White is here

The UFC boss reveals Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje spoke on the phone after their classic fight.

And he says Holloway’s legs are brutally bruised but is somehow walking.

Holloway earned himself $600,000 in bonuses for the knockout and performance.

Worth weight-ing around

Despite his tease to heavyweight, Alex Pereira still plans to defend his light-heavy crown.

He said: “You guys can see what I was doing in there. I told everyone that he was a strong guy and I couldn’t go away from my strategy.

“I was getting the distance and my timing, everything went perfect.

“I don’t let this belt go to my head, I have to come in here and win it to become the champion. I want to continue defending this belt.”
