Conor McGregor warned by Dana White
Conor McGregor has once again been warned by UFC president Dana White that he could be stripped of his lightweight title if he doesn’t return to the promotion in the near future.
“There are a lot of guys that I have to deal with every day who aren’t worth the aggravation. This kid [McGregor] is worth the aggravation,” White said during an appearance on the Toucher & Rich Radio Show.
“I have so much respect for him, in what he’s accomplished and what he’s done.
“If he wants to ride off into the sunset with his money for the rest of his life then I don’t blame him.
“But if he wants to come back and fight, we’ll get him back in. He just can’t hold the division hostage for almost two years.”
Lightweight division moving on without Conor McGregor
Interim UFC lightweight king Tony Ferguson will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 on April 7.
At this moment in time, it’s currently unknown if the bout will be for the undisputed lightweight title.
White announced the fight during his appearance on the Toucher & Rich show on Wednesday afternoon, saying: “That fight is going to happen. It will happen.”
“I heard that Floyd Mayweather showed up last night at one of the nightclubs in Vegas with a Conor McGregor t-shirt on.
“I know these guys have been talking s**t, but I want Conor to start training again and come back and defend his title.”
