Conor McGregor’s comeback news gets put down by MMA veteran Chael Sonnen

The world of MMA is no stranger to speculations and rumors. Likewise, the latest buzz surrounding UFC’s ‘Notorious’ star Conor McGregor’s comeback is no exception. However, one voice in the MMA community has raised doubts about the authenticity of the news.

Chael Sonnen, a revered analyst and integral part of Dana White and Co. has questioned the credibility of a screenshot related to McGregor’s return. ‘The American Gangster’s skepticism is rooted in the belief that the screenshot of the gone-viral Fight Pass page is likely a fabrication. But what makes this assertion interesting is the subsequent question he poses – why hasn’t Dana White, the UFC President, refuted these claims?

Well, he suggests that dispelling such rumors could be a simple task for Dana White and Co. But despite this, the absence of a swift response raises intriguing possibilities. Arguing the same, he added, “Okay, this is a troll move that can be dispelled instantly. Somebody could see that and send one text message to Dana White, come out and dispel it. Send one text message to Conor McGregor, send one text message to Conor’s management team, who likely doesn’t even know that he posted it, right? I mean, you could dispel this very quickly.”
