Dana White and Conor McGregor to hold discussions at UFC Liverpool:

UFC President Dana White confirmed Saturday afternoon that he and star commodity Conor McGregor will meet at the Echo Arena this Sunday ahead of the promotion's premier event on Merseyside. During an interview with Caroline Pearce? White told how he and Conor would sit down for the first time since the fiasco in Brooklyn ahead of UFC 223 in April. Dana refused to hint at a possible return date or a probable opponent for the Dubliner; "This is the first time we've seen eachother since New York, so we're just going to get in a room together and talk."

Rumours suggested that the former Featherweight and Lightweight kingpin will make his first octagon appearance since November, 2016 this September or possibly at UFC 232 in the curtain closer of 2018 against Russia's Khabib Nurmagomedov for the 155lbs title, but the rather large roadblock that is the New York City justice system, may prevent such a return.

McGregor will return to the Big Apple on June 14th after 'The Notorious one was granted a $50,000 bail subsequently paid by Dillon Danis, ahead of a second hearing and verdict. The Crumlin striker was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief after he threw a moving dolly through the window of a bus carrying blue corner fighters in the Barclays Centre car park. McGregor's and his entoutages actions resulted in the removal of Michael Chiesa, Anthony Pettis, Ray Borg, Brandon Moreno, Artem Lobov and Alex Caceres from the Madison Square Garden card. McGregor and SBG teammate Cian Cowley were ultimately arrested and held overnight in a New York City precinct after his private jet was grounded at John F. Kennedy International Airport. A wide array of lawsuits and criminal damages fines are on the horizon for the Straight Blast Gym product, but he also faces the possibility of a suspension from the UFC albeit unlikely, but certainly more realistic, a severe fine, revoking of his fight license and community service from the NYC judicial system.

Interestingly, independent state athletic commissions such as New York, California or Las Vegas have a history of following suit if a license is revoked or a suspension is issued, casting further doubt on a possible return date or venue.

Father of one McGregor, recently posted on his official Instagram page, a picture of him in a cellar, with the caption: @thenotoriousmma keep your dukes up when you see me. See you soon. These comments sent the MMA community into a spiral of a potential come back, further solidified by Khabib Nurmagomedov's agent Ali Abdelaziz's Twitter post, hinting at a possible meeting with McGregor: Just talked to my brother @TeamKhabib 59 minutes over the phone. Lots of exciting things coming! Everybody will get punished for their actions. That’s all I got to say. 

I believe it's safe to say, some sort of fight negotiations will be trashed out between Conor and Dana sometime within this meeting.
