Dana White isn’t budging when it comes to complaints about fighter pay from Jon Jones and Jorge Masvidal, and it doesn’t appear he’s going to change his stance, no matter how much anybody argues with him.
Conor McGregor might be frustrated over his lack of options right now, but Dana White says the only one to blame is the man in the mirror.
Earlier this month, top-five UFC middleweight Darren Till suggested that he coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter opposite Israel Adesanya, but ‘The Last Stylebender’ was having none of it.
“No,” Adesanya said of the potential coaching role.
Conor McGregor is bored.
Once again it seems like Jon 'Bones' Jones' most challenging fights take place outside of the cage. The longtime UFC light heavyweight champion has had it mostly his own way since becoming the youngest UFC champion in history in 2011, with only USADA able to seize the title from his grasp during the years which followed.
White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has positioned U.F.C. 249 for a prime spotlight — as the first major U.S. sporting event since the coronavirus shutdown.
When Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje step into the octagon Saturday night in Jacksonville, Fla., their interim lightweight title bout will be the climax of U.F.C. 249, the biggest sporting event to take place in the United States in almost two months.
