The UFC is reportedly not very happy with Conor McGregor, but there’s not much the promotion can do about that.
McGregor, a former lightweight and featherweight champion, is preparing for his October return against current 155-pound titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC 229 headliner. Unlike previous McGregor blockbuster fights, nearly a month out, there has been little media leading up to potentially the biggest fight in UFC history.
According to Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer newsletter, McGregor has not agreed to much media prior to the Nurmagomedov title bout. But because of McGregor’s stardom and what he financially means to the company simply as an individual, the UFC is certainly unable to deliver any means of punishment.
