The qualm surrounding the MMA fans has frequently been a hot topic of discussion. In fact, it was yet another YouTube interview that surfaced the notions of the light heavyweight legend on McGregor’s return. Well, Jackson looked to drop the truth bombs with his statements, since he emphasized the power the UFC kingpin had. While speaking with the renowned sports journalist, Helen Yee, Jackson shed light on how the UFC kingpin can bring Conor McGregor back to the UFC.

He said, “Oh man, I heard he was running from the USADA right. But come on, man Dana White owns the USADA and Conor is his golden goose so. Just like Brock got around it, Conor can go around it. That is my opinion, I don’t know who owns the USADA but I think UFC owns it.”

His thoughts toward the current situation were apparent from the interview. He believed that Dana White owned USADA and might bring Conor McGregor to the octagon if he so desired. To provide a historical illustration of White’s actions, he brought up the name of another UFC legend, Brock Lesnar.
