Dillon Danis is giving fans a new look at how Conor McGregor is handling life after his comeback attempt went sideways. According to MMA Fighting, Danis, who has trained alongside McGregor for years, says his friend is currently based in Los Angeles and fully focused on getting his knee right.

MiddleEasy also picked up on Danis's comments, framing them as an update on McGregor's rehabilitation rather than any kind of confirmed timeline for stepping back into the Octagon. Both outlets agree on the core of it: McGregor is in LA, he's working on the knee, and nobody close to him is putting a date on his next fight.

Danis didn't shy away from describing how rough things got for McGregor in the aftermath. He said McGregor was in a dark place, which lines up with just how brutal the setback actually was. Our data shows McGregor's last outing came on July 11, 2026, when he lost to Max Holloway by KO/TKO in the first round at the 1:09 mark, the exact comeback the reporting says was spoiled almost as soon as it started.

That loss means McGregor's long awaited return to the cage ended about as badly as possible, and now the recovery clock is reportedly running in Los Angeles instead of a fight camp. For a fighter who has spent years teasing comebacks that never quite arrived on schedule, another injury layered on top of a first round defeat to Holloway makes any next step harder to predict.

Danis's account doesn't promise anything concrete, but it does paint a picture of where things stand. McGregor is reportedly putting in work on the knee, away from the spotlight for now, with his inner circle staying quiet on when, or if, he starts building toward fight number two in this comeback.
