A State of Frustration Grips the MMA Champion Conor McGregor
It is natural that the lives of athletes are full of competitions, so it is not surprising that Irish fighter Conor McGregor is impatient with the promises made by the UFC regarding his return to the battlefield again.
White’s statements made headlines just a few weeks after Conor McGregor announced the date of his return, as the UFC CEO claimed that the details of the Irish star’s return have not been determined yet.
That prompted McGregor, to express on his Instagram account the great frustration he feels regarding the instability surrounding his return.
Although the 35-year-old fighter announced that his decisive encounter with Chandler would be a middleweight fight, White did not believe his words at all, indicating that the details of this encounter had not yet been settled.
Uncertainty over the former champion’s return has led some fans to speculate that Conor McGregor could headline UFC 300, but for the time being White remained vague when asked about the big event scheduled to take place on April 13.
