Morning Report: Dana White says Conor McGregor ‘isn’t the man anymore’, McGregor responds

The times they are a changing.

A few years ago, Conor McGregor was the unquestioned king of MMA. He was the sport’s biggest star and got away with things with the UFC that no other fight could have. For instance, despite being the featherweight champion, he fought three times outside of the weight class before the UFC stripped him of the title, and he managed to convince the UFC to co-promote an event - his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather - something they almost never do. But when you’re name alone sells millions of Pay-Per-Views, the UFC is willing to tolerate a lot, and these days, that might not be the case anymore.
