The Ambani family – worth £77BILLION ($96bn)- were behind the idea and believed to be paying the pair £200m ($400m) EACH.
But now UFC president White has shot down the reports and insisted McGregor’s next bout will be in the UFC octagon.
He said on the Pardon My Take podcast: “No. Hopefully Conor McGregor returns in the fall.”
The Irishman has not fought since July 2021 – breaking his leg in round one against Dustin Poirier.
McGregor, 36, was set to return in June against Michael Chandler, 38, until a toe injury forced him out.
He has since been in a legal fight against Dublin woman Nikita Hand.
McGregor was found civilly liable for assaulting Hand at a Dublin Hotel in December 2018.
He has also vowed to appeal the decision.

McGregor sent social media into a frenzy when he posted: “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed.
“I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
Mukesh Ambani is the richest person in Asia and 9th richest in the world – making his fortune through his Reliance Industries company.
The business interests in petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecom, retail, media and financial services.
Paul, 29, also teased a bout with McGregor online before pledging his future to the WWE.
It sparked the likes of KSI, 31, and Tommy Fury, 25, to then call out the former UFC champion.
