Welcome to Midnight Mania!
It took about two weeks, however UFC CEO Dana White lastly reacted to his largest star, Conor McGregor, being discovered liable in his extremely publicized sexual assault case. Through the UFC 310 post-fight press convention, White made certain to distance himself and his firm from McGregor throughout this controversial interval (which can already be costing McGregor hundreds of thousands).
“If I had a remark, I’d’ve put it out already,” an agitated White mentioned. “He hasn’t been combating right here in, I don’t understand how lengthy. If he does combat, it’ll be someday subsequent yr.”
McGregor, who intends to enchantment his case, doesn’t seem happy with White’s feedback. In a not too long ago deleted sequence of posts on X — a McGregor signature — the Irish star bragged about his in depth knockout historical past then teased a submit about FREEDOM!

This isn’t the primary time McGregor has threatened to seek for greener pastures. The query is can he? The “highest producing fighter” nonetheless has two fights on his present UFC contract. With the exception of Francis Ngannou, high-profile fighters usually have a hell of a time escaping their contracts. It’s an advanced and doubtlessly costly course of to do something except for combat out the remaining bouts, and it’s not like McGregor has been lively lately. Two fights will be who is aware of what number of years?
There may be, in fact, a less-than-microscopic likelihood UFC opts to launch McGregor willingly. He’s too enormous of a star to willingly launch into the arms of a rival promotion … until some government decides his present dangerous publicity and common decline in efficiency is now outweighing his worth.
I wouldn’t depend on it.
