The injury that forced Conor McGregor to withdraw from UFC 303 on June 29 had nothing to do with Dana White’s lack of genuine confidence in McGregor’s capability to contend again. The UFC CEO’s worries are grounded in a larger picture, even if it’s unclear how serious McGregor’s injury is and how long it’ll take him to heal. White constantly wonders if stars who have become notorious and accumulated large totalities of plutocrats will ever make a comeback. These questions have always been raised after McGregor suffered an injury in 2021. White’s uninterrupted enterprises about McGregor’s capability to continue fighting are only heightened by this most recent injury.
UFC President about McGregor
“That is a great question,” Dana White said to Jim Rome in response to the content of whether or not we’ve formerly seen Conor McGregor’s last fight. He further stated that Conor is financially secure and will turn 36 in July. You never know with folks like him and Jon Jones. They may fight once more, or not. Who of the stars will make it to that position is no way certain. You have no way know when you might run into them again in the ring.
“Age is another aspect. Injuries increase in frequency and inflexibility as you age. Compared to when you were young, you’re more likely to get wounded. Likewise, compared to when you were youthful, empty, and broke, your amenability to fight through injuries decreases,” White continued.
Dana White is not surprised by McGregor’s decision to return
Indeed, though Dana White was not exorbitantly shocked by McGregor’s return, it was nonetheless frustrating to miss it at UFC 303. It’s just the nature of the fight assiduity to be changeable.
Given this standpoint, White avoids getting overly anxious about the possibility of celebrity fighters like Conor McGregor engaging in combat once more.
“The thing is, like Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, once these guys get older and have made their names, made their plutocrats, and achieved their pretensions, I never get too agitated about them. I’ve got to put on fights every Saturday because I work in the fight assiduity. It’s great when those big names show up, but eventually, I’ve to run a business.
