LOS ANGELES -- In recent weeks, Conor McGregor’s team has insisted that the UFC lightweight champion will return to mixed martial arts following his Aug. 26 boxing megafight with Floyd Mayweather.
Just last week, his coach, John Kavanaugh, said that McGregor is eyeing a December return to the Octagon.
But UFC president Dana White isn’t so sure the Irish supernova will return any time soon. If it all.
Speaking to reporters at Staples Center on the first leg of the four-day, three-country tour to promote the Mayweather-McGregor fight, White acknowledged that McGregor, who is expected to pull in $100 million for the boxing match, might never fight in the UFC again.
