Conor McGregor bombshell from Dana White
UFC president Dana White has refused to rule out the possibility of Conor McGregor returning to the UFC by year’s end, despite the fact the former lightweight champion has multiple criminal charges hanging over him.
On Friday morning, McGregor was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief after throwing a dolley through a bus window during the UFC 223 media day.
Despite the legal trouble McGregor is facing, White hasn’t shut the door on ‘The Notorious’ returning to action in the next few months.
“I don’t know,” White said when asked if McGregor could still fight in the near future. “You can’t ask me anything about Conor.
“I don’t know anything about Conor. I haven’t thought about it. There’s nothing to think about this week I think except for this event.”
None of that is even close to true. Dumbest s**t I have ever heard
