One of the biggest questions UFC president Dana White has asked regarding Conor McGregor and his future in fighting is how much he’s dedicated to the sport now that he’s sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars.
Following his 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather that netted McGregor a reported payday of over $100 million, White wondered if he’d ever actually return to compete again.
After McGregor suffered a second-round TKO loss to Dustin Poirier back in January, White couldn’t help but wonder if the lavish lifestyle that the Irish superstar has been living — including his arrival to the event in Abu Dhabi on a massive 300-foot yacht — had perhaps caught up to him when it came time to fight again.
