UFC president Dana White has admitted it can be 'hard to reel in' mega-rich fighters like Conor McGregor ahead of his return to the cage.
McGregor is set to fight Michael Chandler later this year after an almost two-year absence, with the pair first coaching against each other on The Ultimate Fighter. And while White admitted it can be difficult to tempt someone like McGregor to return to fighting, the Irishman is now desperate to get back in the octagon.
"First of all, Conor called me a couple days ago and loved the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter, and saying how happy he was to be a part of it," White said. "And I think being here and part of the environment and everything else, he felt it again and felt like he wants to get back to fight.
