Well, well, well, it turns out that Dana White has confirmed what the majority of fans thought, which was Conor McGregor won’t fight again in 2020.

Acording to Ariel Helwani, the UFC isn’t keen booking McGregor in a fight this year because there’s no live gate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


Speaking with Barstool Sports on Monday, White addressed McGregor’s current situation.

“These guys keep asking me about Conor McGregor, who is retired,” White said. “You guys keep asking me about him and he’s retired. Conor plays you guys like fiddles. You guys are like puppets on a string. He’s retired. He sends one Tweet that says , ‘I accept,’ and it’s right after Khamzat calls him out and two other guys. I’m not focused on anything with anybody who’s not fighting. Conor McGregor is retired. Do we all believe he’ll stay retired? I think most of us don’t believe that he’ll remain retired.”

People like Conor McGregor are why real MMA fans don't take the UFC seriously anymore.

Actually they don't need him anymore..like Royce Gracie, Forrest Griffin, Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia, Eddie Alverez, Minnie Mouse, Sage Northcut.
The UFC has always been a use them then refuse them organization, they just go the most money.

I wasn't expecting to see him fight again in 2020 so this is hardly surprising. I doubt he'll remain retired though, he's retired twice before and come back both times. If he was offered enough money he'd fight again, it just depends on weather the UFC or any other promotion would give him that kind of money.
