“Happy Birthday Frankie, see you in December.” McGregor wrote on Twitter.

The Irishman has not stepped foot inside the Octagon since suffering a fourth round submission loss to current UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October of 2018.

Conor McGregor was briefly linked to a fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 240, but that bout failed to come to fruition after the Irishman suffered a hand injury.

As for Frankie Edgar, the former UFC lightweight champion is coming off a loss to reigning featherweight champ Max Holloway at UFC 240.

Following the setback, Edgar announced his intentions of dropping down to bantamweight, this unless he could score a fight with Conor McGregor.
