Conor McGregor’s Return Gets Shut Down Again by Dana White as CEO Rejects Nate Diaz Trilogy at Las Vegas Sphere for UFC 306

Conor McGregor has been out of the sport for years at this point. However, it is speculated that the Irishman would make his return to the game this year. While his comeback is not made official, one can speculate it could be against Nate Diaz. Both fighters are one and one against each other and there is a trilogy lingering for a long time.

That being said, the ultimate calls lie with Dana White, the CEO of the UFC. So, does he want this fight to take place? Let’s wait no further and take a look at what he has to suggest.

Dana White does not foresee Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz 3

Following UFC 299, Dana White, CEO of the UFC was asked about this match-up taking place at UFC 306 at the Las Vegas Sphere. However, from his response, it is apparent that the third fight of the trilogy won’t be happening anytime soon. When asked about it during the post-fight interview, he said, “Yeah, I am not doing that.”

McGregor has been itching to come back and has blamed the organization for not giving him a fight. However, in all fairness, a McGregor and Michael Chandler fight seems to be in the works if the Irishman does in fact make a return soon. So the likelihood of a trilogy with Diaz was anyway not on the horizon.

Not to mention, McGregor himself had announced making a comeback to the sport against Chandler this year in the middleweight division. However, there was one legendary fighter who did not appreciate this callout.

Michael Bisping warns Conor McGregor

Following his infamous injury, McGregor put on a lot of muscle and is bigger than Chandler, and a fight in the middleweight division may appear coherent. However, according to Michael Bisping, former middleweight challenger, this is not a wise move. That is because he thinks McGregor would get tired early and Chandler may capitalize on it.

Reflecting on the same, on his YouTube channel, he said, “I truly believe that the instincts, the reflexes will also be slowed but more importantly the big thing here is that it’s going to make him tired and if he gets tired and Chandler uses the correct game plan, he could be a sitting duck by round two and three.”
