“He is the biggest star in the sport. Then everyone will call you for a fight. First of all, talking about Conor (McGregor) is difficult. He's not ready. When Conor is 100% healthy, we will evaluate it”, said White.
Despite Charles' appeal, Dana did not rule out another scenario for McGregor's return to the UFC. The 'big boss' spoke about the Irishman's possible dispute against Michael chandler, which surpassed Tony Ferguson with a brutal front kick in the second round.
“In recent months, many have considered other fights, but never mentioned the name of Michael chandler, for example. And today, he won the way he did and called Conor to fight. And Conor said he would like to fight. I think it would be an exciting fight. So, when Conor is ready to compete, who knows what could happen?”, concluded the agent.
