Conor McGregor is getting ready for a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather that could net him a nine-figure payday but what about his future in the UFC?
McGregor currently holds the lightweight title after defeating Eddie Alvarez last November, but there’s been a ton of speculation that he might walk away from mixed martial arts after earning a huge paycheck to fight Mayweather on Aug. 26.
UFC president Dana White spoke to McGregor on Wednesday ahead of the announcement for his fight with Mayweather and he’s confident that the Irishman will return to the UFC before the end of 2017.
