Despite “Million Dollar Payday”, Conor McGregor Given a Reality Check for His “Dance Partner” After Dana White Gives Comeback Claim

Conor McGregor‘s comeback is indeed the major discussion going on in the UFC world. After the bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, the Irishman was left with a broken leg. He had no other choice but to stay away from sports. During the long break, many speculated that the former UFC two-division champion might retire. However, McGregor soon made it clear that he wanted to return to the sport. As a first step, he chose to coach against Michael Chandler in the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter. The show aired on May 30, and fans are already in love with the show as the Irishman is a part of it. For the UFC world, McGregor being a coach at TUF is not all they want.

Other MMA fighters, fans, and analysts are waiting to see ‘Notorious’ back in action inside the UFC octagon. Many MMA fighters believed that McGregor would be back to fight Chandler. The former UFC two-division champion, Henry Cejudo, is certain about McGregor’s comeback even after Dana White‘s latest claim.

Henry Cejudo talks about Conor McGregor’s comeback

Henry Cejudo was talking on ‘The Schmo’ show. During the conversation, he mentioned that McGregor would be back. Schomo asked if ‘The Messenger’ thinks McGregor will fight soon, and as a reply, he said, ” I think he [Conor McGregor] does. People need to recognize and realize that if a champion wants somebody he’s able to create a storyline. The UFC could make it happen like if I was a champion at 170 or 55 Conor would be the first dude would be calling now. That’s a 10 million dollar payday you.”

Talking further on the same topic, he added, “That’s what you get when you fight now. That’s what you get when you fight a Conor McGregor but these guys Leon Edwards, he has to sell that fight. I’m saying he has to call for it and ask for it you know. What I mean Conor’s you know it’s a payday. Like, don’t let your ego get the best of you. These dudes they don’t understand business they’re really dumb. He also needs a champion. As a dance partner to be able to make that fight happen.” After mentioning McGregor’s return, Cejudo detailed how every fight should be viewed from a business point of view.

Dana White gives an ambiguous answer

While Dana White was talking in the post-fight press conference for the UFC on ESPN 46, he refused to give any clarity on the bout between Chandler and McGregor. Instead of giving a timeline for the bout, the UFC boss gave an ambiguous answer. He said that the ‘Notorious’ was happy to be a part of the 31st season of TUF. McGregor, like all the others, enjoyed the love and attention he received after the airing of the show.

When asked the bout, White said, “The one thing that you guys have to understand is this kid has so much money… you know it’s hard to reel these guys back in and get them fired up to get in a fight.” This has disappointed many, as it again raises questions about the possibility of the bout between ‘The Notorious’ and ‘Iron.’
