UFC: Conor McGregor was about to fight
According to Conor, he was about to fight at this time of the year and stated that UFC delayed his fight. McGregor stated that he was constantly trying to get the December 14th card too but the UFC matchmakers have made things harder for the Irish Legend. In a recent interview, UFC President Dana White said that Conor McGregor is no longer the man and also rejected the possibility of Conor McGregor’s Twitter callout to Frankie Edgar. After McGregor’s recent statement, it can be assumed that things are not going well between him and UFC. Conor said that he is ready to fight, he wants to compete, he is giving dates to UFC but they are not offering him a fight deal.
“I even offered for the Frankie Edgar bout to donate my purse to charity. Because they were saying we won’t make enough money on the Frankie fight and I was like, I don’t care, don’t worry about me, give my purse to charity. But for whatever reason, it’s being made difficult.” Said McGregor.
