John Kavanagh Outlines 2027 Return Timeline for Conor McGregor

By MMAReign News Desk·Oct 27, 2026 • 8:03 PM

Coach John Kavanagh reports that Conor McGregor is targeting a return to training by 2027 following a knee injury that halted his UFC 329 comeback.

Conor McGregor’s long-standing head coach, John Kavanagh, has provided an updated outlook on the former two-division champion’s competitive future. Following the knee injury that derailed his highly anticipated comeback attempt at UFC 329, McGregor is now looking toward a timeline centered around 2027. Kavanagh expressed confidence that McGregor retains the drive to compete and suggested that the injury, while a significant setback, does not signal the end of his career. According to Kavanagh, there is still ample competition ahead for the Irish star. The injury, which caused the cancellation of his UFC 329 appearance, remains the primary obstacle to his return to the Octagon. While the timeline is stretched further into the future than many fans initially hoped, the camp maintains that McGregor intends to return to action once fully recovered. No specific date for a return bout has been determined, as the focus remains on the rehabilitation of the injury.
