(CNN) It has been a busy fortnight for Conor McGregor.

Having announced his retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) and then subsequently teased fans about a possible return, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White has had his say.

Speaking to CNN, he confirmed what many had suspected when one of UFC's most controversial figures stunned fans on March 25.

"Conor McGregor will fight again," White said, adding that he was due to sit down with the Irishman for face-to-face talks to discuss the future in a matter of days, following McGregor's will-he-won't-he speculation.

"Me and Conor communicate every day. We've been talking all this week. Things are good with Conor and I and we'll get something figured out soon.
