Today, the UFC posted this birthday post for Edgar on Twitter and McGregor commented that he would see him in December.

As of now, Dana White has yet to respond to the tweets between McGregor and Edgar.
Earlier this year McGregor claimed he was supposed to return to the cage in July before a broken hand pushed prevented his comeback. Edgar recently lost Max Holloway at featherweight in July. McGregor vs Edgar would definitely be buzzworthy and would be a good return fight for McGregor. We’ll have to wait for Dana to see what he thinks.
