McGregor’s argument with UFC President Dana White finally seems to have come to an end after both parties failed to agree on a return date for the former featherweight and lightweight world champion.
The 32-year-old went to Twitter to confirm the news but announced that the fight would take place at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
McGregor and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are known to have a close relationship after the couple dated the Jacksonville Jaguars during a 2018 home game in Dallas.
“I accept January 23rd is open!” McGregor tweeted.
“My goal is to see this fight in the cowboy stadium. Right style!
“Jerry Jones is a friend and the stadium can hold our audience.
“I’ll be ready for Texas and Texas will be ready for my fans! Then Manny. ”
Just hours before McGregor confirmed his return to the Octagon, White confirmed that the organization was unwilling to allow the Irish UFC star to fight this year.
“We offered him a fight, we gave him his own date,” White said ESPN.
“We didn’t have a date this year. We have prepared everything for this year, with world champions fighting for titles. He apparently wants to fight Dustin Poirier so we went to [broadcast partner] ESPN and got him his own date.
“He was offered Dustin Poirier on January 23rd.
“It’s a yes or no answer.”
But for McGregor and Poirier, the January fight will be a rematch for the couple.
McGregor defeated Poirier in 2014 via TKO at UFC 178.
