UFC President Dana White refuses to abide by Conor McGregor's demand for the potential fight
UFC chief Dana White was quick to shoot down Conor McGregor’s demand to book a fight against the former Lightweight Frankie Edgar. Dana White, in an interview yesterday addressed the callout made by Conor McGregor and said the fight would not happen given Edgar is two weight class below the Irishman. Frankie Edgar was supposed to take on Aljamain Sterling which ultimately fell off owing to the latter’s injury. Not just that, he also mentioned that Frankie is nearing the end of his MMA career and may end up getting a championship opportunity once again, hence, the McGregor fight would not make any sense.
