While the next UFC fights are being arranged, and roll calls are constantly appearing from various quarters, one of the most important issues is what will be offered to Conor McGregor next. There is no information about his next fight for now, and it seems it will be like that for some time to come.<\/p>\n
Namely, Dana White was asked about Conor McGregor\u2019s plans for the near future during his last guest appearance on ESPN. After White stated that the Irishman will not fight against Kamaru Usman, and the real and interim champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje, will fight for the lightweight title, the situation is not easy to assess. And the UFC president doesn\u2019t seem to even intend to do that any time soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cConor and I haven\u2019t talked about fighting. If you\u2019re Conor and you\u2019re sitting at home, you\u2019re sure to hear you being constantly called out by fighters of various divisions. Who\u2019s next? I\u2019m waiting. Who\u2019s going to call him next? It\u2019s all a crazy situation,\u201d White said, and added:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what Conor is like and what his personality is. He\u2019ll answer you, he\u2019ll get back to you. Conor and I haven\u2019t talked about the fight yet. I think Conor should rest a little more and see how this next fight unfolds. Let him see how things will turn out in the most important, lightweight category. After that, we will have a better picture of how those things played out for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
White has previously stated that it is unthinkable for him to do Conor McGregor\u2019s fight without an audience present, no matter what the profits from selling the views would be. The Irishman said that he wants to fight soon and that he is impatient. The UFC can\u2019t risk the wrath of fans and Justin Gaethje at this point and contract him to fight Khabib. They actually promised him the same, that is, a fight with the winner of the fight between Nurmagomedov and Ferguson, but over time everything changed.<\/p>\n
Conor returned earlier this year after a 15-month hiatus and defeated Donald Cerrone in the main event of the UFC 246 event.<\/p>\n
