On Monday, we wrote about Conor McGregor saying he was in negotiations with the UFC about returning for a fight in July. Now, we have a pretty good idea what those negotiations involve.
After his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, McGregor was rumored to be fighting Donald Cerrone upon his NAC mandated suspension for his role in the UFC 229 brawl. But earlier this month, Cerrone said that the bout had essentially been nixed because the UFC wanted to have it as a co-main event for a Pay-Per-View, instead of as the headliner and McGregor wouldn’t do it.
