“Dana White Will Always Put On…”- Reality Behind Conor McGregor’s Much Anticipated UFC 300 Return Disclosed by UFC Legend

Conor McGregor is highly expected to make his return in the coming year. However, fans are not sure who is opponent is going to be. Nor are they sure if the fight will be for a title or not. But according to a UFC legend, a fight of this scale can not be anything less than a big main event.

That’s right. Dana White is a showman, just as ambitious as McGregor himself. This characteristic of his shows up in many of his videos and let’s not forget. White has carried the UFC as its frontman for years now. So, of course, when McGregor returns, it’ll be a big deal.

Chael Sonnen talks about the prospect of Conor McGregor making his return at UFC 300

At UFC 300, anything can happen. Fans are thoroughly excited about the big pay-per-view event. But there is one man in particular who has great insight into the promotion. Chael Sonnen took to his YouTube channel to express concern over McGregor’s potential UFC 300 fight.

“Do you believe he’s(McGregor) going to come back and be anything less than a main event?” said Sonnen. “Do you think that our number 300, the headliner is not going to be a title fight?” McGregor’s beef with Michael Chandler are now well known. But Chandler has no title that the Irishman can claim. So what’s Dana White’s real move here? Sonnen gave an idea of the UFC CEO’s mentality by remarking, “Dana White will always put on a significant fight. Always and everytime. Won’t matter if it’s a PPV, won’t matter if it’s a sideshow. 

Will the Irishman go up against anyone else? It’s quite possible that a title fight would be in the cards for McGregor. Even though he has so much beef with Chandler, a contract is yet to be signed. In fact, the fight hasn’t ever been officially booked. So the fans too are forced to ask, will the fight ever really come to fruition?

On the other hand, rumors regarding big fighters returning to the cage are also widely afloat. Sonnen had big things to say about some of them as well. If Sonnen was to be believed, he had heard that Georges St-Pierre would be going up against Nick Diaz in a big card fight at UFC 300. So what did Sonnen say about that?

Chael Sonnen outlines his thoughts on GSP vs. Diaz 2

Sonnen mentioned that a fight as big as ‘GSP’ vs Nick Diaz could not be covered up easily. But it would also be difficult to arrange it. After all, what’s in it for the two big names to fight for? He highlighted how the two might only want to fight if there’s something big on the line. Like a title.

“When you talk about that (GSP vs Diaz part 2), if both aren’t going to return, if both aren’t going to take on a meaningful schedule, if both are not trying to get their names back out there and break back into the rankings in a pursuit ultimately to get to a title shot . . .If that is not on the board, and that is no longer possible they are not getting booked.” Sonnen is pretty much on point with his opinion. Very little stakes mean there’s very little to come back for. Do you think the two legends will ever lock horns again? What do you make of his comments regarding McGregor’s potential UFC 300 return?
