PUBLICITY:

Having not fought since 2021, Conor McGregor has spoken out about his future in combat sports. This is because Dana White made it clear that he has no interest in making the highly anticipated fight between the Irishman and Michael Chandler official at UFC White House , an event scheduled to take place in June in Washington (USA). And anyone who thinks 'Notorious' is upset with the UFC president's decision is mistaken.

On the contrary, McGregor accepted the UFC president's decision and has already opened the door for new fights. In fact, the attitude of the former featherweight (up to 65,8 kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) champion of the company is not surprising.
