It would appear that after Conor McGregor’s TKO loss against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last night, the UFC president is not looking to set up more boxing matches anytime soon.
In the post-fight press conference following Conor McGregor’s stoppage loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., UFC President Dana White gave his thoughts on the UFC champion going into another boxing match.
As transcribed by MMA Mania, Dana White said
“I would rather he did not. This isn’t what he does. He’s a mixed martial artist where he goes in and he fights and he uses all of his weapons. And tonight he was only allowed to use his hands. I think he did great tonight, I don’t think there’s anything else left to prove. I’d rather he fight in mixed martial arts. I’m ready to get back to UFC and do what I do.”
As far as other UFC fighters entering a boxing ring, White said “I don’t even want to talk about my other guys in a boxing match,” he said when asked about the match up. “This was one of those … two big superstars. This was built from the bottom up from the fans to the media and then up to us when we even started remotely considering something like this. It was just a real special event, and a rare event. I’m not looking to do this again.”
