It would appear that UFC president Dana White is not so sure if Conor McGregor will ever step back into the octagon.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor has not competed inside the octagon since his title fight match up against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in 2016. “Notorious” went down in history as the first fighter to simultaneously hold two UFC titles when he earned a TKO victory over the lightweight champion.
Since then, McGregor has taken a break from mixed martial arts. Rater, the fighter recently made his debut as a professional boxer. Facing off against undefeated pugilist legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Aug. 26, 2017, McGregor put on a stunning performance in his debut. While “Notorious” suffered a TKO loss to his opponent in the tenth round, the UFC superstar still walked away with the payday of his career.
Conor McGregor is believed to have earned a staggering $100 million for his boxing debut. Mayweather vs. McGregor would go on to break the pay-per-view sales record previously held by Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
Conor McGregor recently revealed that he is interested in a match up with UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson for his yet unofficial octagon return. That being said, UFC President Dana White appears to think otherwise.
Speaking at a recent media lunch, Dana White revealed that he believes things are still at a place where it is unclear if “Notorious” will ever fight inside the octagon again.
