I don’t know if it was because I got buzzed in the beginning of the fight.

In an interview with the LA Times, UFC president Dana White confirmed that Conor’s taking a break while his longtime girlfriend Dee Devlin is pregnant. “He’s special”, White said. Meanwhile, Tony Ferguson is on a 9-fight winning streak, 12-1 in the UFC, and most recently defeated former lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos. I don’t know what way to take it because I don’t want to be bringing a child into anything like this.
Conor McGregor has been a two-division UFC champion for less than one week – but as usual, fans are already focused on his next fight.
McGregor then went on to challenge him to a $100 million fight, but nothing has come to fruition on that front just yet.
Earlier this year, rumors surrounding a potential fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather spread like wildfire.
“You’re. right! Don’t compare Conor McGregor to Floyd Mayweather. Elephants are so large they don’t even see ants”. Mayweather’s long-awaited bout with Manny Pacquiao saw both fighters rake in more than $100 million after setting a record for pay-per-view buys with 4.4 million at $100/$80 for the HD/SD broadcasts. McGregor has asked to receive some sort of ownership stake in the UFC before he returns to fighting. Tell him to go to them Showtime offices.
“He wants a boxing match, he doesn’t want a fight”.
Fighters like McGregor are a rare breed.
White countered that those experts aren’t factoring McGregor’s punching length from a left-handed stance, his supreme confidence and mind-bending swagger.

The leading candidates to welcome back McGregor include interim featherweight champion Jose Aldo, lightweight contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz, plus welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. He was quoted as saying, “Has he [McGregor] ever made $300 million in one night? He deserves that”, said Wahlberg while sporting a Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code-esque hairstyle that I can only pray is for an upcoming role. “You have to respect what he’s been able to do”. White and McGregor need to meet some kind of compromise.
