LAS VEGAS – Dana White probably could be forgiven if he refused to answer any more questions about why Conor McGregor is coaching the next season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
After all, if you were the UFC president, wouldn’t you want the fighter who has been the biggest draw in your company’s history to be anyplace you can get him?
“Conor’s a massive star, No. 1,” White said at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 218 post-fight news conference in Las Vegas. “He’s been away for a while. And the timing was perfect for it. That’s why we did it.”
