Welcome to Midnight Mania!
It took about two weeks, however UFC CEO Dana White lastly reacted to his greatest star, Conor McGregor, being discovered liable in his extremely publicized sexual assault case. Throughout the UFC 310 post-fight press convention, White made certain to distance himself and his firm from McGregor throughout this controversial interval (which can already be costing McGregor tens of millions).
“If I had a remark, I’d’ve put it out already,” an agitated White mentioned. “He hasn’t been combating right here in, I don’t know the way lengthy. If he does battle, it’ll be someday subsequent 12 months.”
McGregor, who intends to attraction his case, doesn’t seem happy with White’s feedback. In a just lately deleted sequence of posts on X — a McGregor signature — the Irish star bragged about his in depth knockout historical past then teased a publish about FREEDOM!

This isn’t the primary time McGregor has threatened to seek for greener pastures. The query is can he? The “highest producing fighter” nonetheless has two fights on his present UFC contract. Excluding Francis Ngannou, high-profile fighters usually have a hell of a time escaping their contracts. It’s a sophisticated and doubtlessly costly course of to do something other than battle out the remaining bouts, and it’s not like McGregor has been energetic in recent times. Two fights will be who is aware of what number of years?
There’s, in fact, a less-than-microscopic likelihood UFC opts to launch McGregor willingly. He’s too big of a star to willingly launch into the arms of a rival promotion … except some govt decides his present dangerous publicity and normal decline in efficiency is now outweighing his worth.
I wouldn’t depend on it.
