Ever since Conor McGregor ran into life-changing fortune with his 2016 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather, UFC CEO Dana White has offered a consistent answer about the Irishman’s fighting future.
That hasn’t changed much in the aftermath of McGregor’s withdrawal from his anticipated octagon return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas.
White likely possesses as much knowledge about the life of McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) behind the scenes as anyone. Because of that, he’s said time and time again he it’s hard to set expectations. That was repeated often during McGregor’s nearly three-year layoff leading up to the scheduled fight with Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC), and now that there’s been a setback, White can’t give a firm answer on what the future holds.
