Gonna get himself banned Dana White and reporters tensed back-and-forth on Conor McGreg

A common consensus in the philosophical paradigm is that “money can’t buy happiness.” However, it also cannot bag you a chance at a fateful return to the combat sports industry. ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor has spent some 29-ish months out of the octagon, in the wake of injury. He last fought at UFC 264, incurring a gruesome leg injury. Amidst his inactivity, the Dubliner has sneered at Dana White and Co. recently. However, in the fallout, White’s deflections haven’t gone unnoticed. He states McGregor’s riches to be the cause.

Speaking to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports, he had nudged that the Irishman “doesn’t need the money.” So for him to return, there must be a noticeable urge and a very striking camp. Now, White has alluded to his riches being the problem yet again. At the UFC 298 post-fight presser he said:

First problem was that he broke that shin bone. He was recovering from that. That was one of the reasons...The other problem is he’s f*cking rich...I don’t know. Conor McGregor’s got a lot of money. Any time we get Conor, we’ll be happy.

During the conference, White gave the go-ahead for UFC Spain at 81,000 seater Santiago Bernabeu headlined by Ilia Topuria. He also divulged a surprising UFC 300 headliner that left fans sulking. McGregor has 2 fights remaining on his current UFC contract. On the subject matter of signing a new contract with more fights being an issue. White was very laid back, deflecting to his riches.

The promotion’s top honcho gave no clear explanation as to why the Irishman being rich is a clear problem. A prime reaction to this, on X, read – “That reporter gonna get himself banned.”

Fight fans react to Dana White’s ominous deflection on Conor McGregor’s return

Conor McGregor is at odds regarding his return. The baggage in his way – none other than Dana White. McGregor returned to the UFC – on TV – last year by coaching the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

He recently announced a supposed return against expectant rival Micahel Chandler, his opposing coach on the show. This was for June 29, for International Fight Week at UFC 302; but White later said he’s hoping he’ll fight in the fall.

Now, he has done it yet again, expressing a need for a profound camp in place, and blaming McGregor’s riches. Here’s how the MMA community has reacted to this bizarre turn of events –

White has already caught some substantial heat for holding McGregor’s return hostage. Concurrently, now many fans have expressed concerns over him leaving out Michael Chandler to dry, without a slated matchup.

Alongside this, multitudes of fans have also lauded the whole conversation taking place and White being asked the tough questions.
