UFC fans have voiced their anger after Dana White refused to rule out Conor McGregor fighting for the lightweight title on his return from injury.
The Irishman is considered one of the sport's biggest superstars and arguably continues to be the biggest pay-per-view draw despite his recent two defeats by Dustin Poirier.
He is expected to make a comeback later this year and has received encouragement that he could challenge for the lightweight title currently held by Charles Oliveira.
