Conor McGregor vs. Dana White – Innocence Before Guilt, Lets Not make Assumptions with Due Process
The Irish star accused of inappropriate sexual conduct returned to action for the first time in over a year at last month’s UFC 246 event, where he needed just 40-seconds to dismantle Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in a welterweight bout.
Following his emphatic victory, many believed a fight with reigning ‘BMF’ title holder Jorge Masvidal could be next for Conor McGregor.
However, those speculations were recently squashed when Dana White revealed his plans to make Jorge Masvidal vs. Kamaru Usman for the promotions welterweight title later this summer.
With ‘Gamebred’ now seemingly off the board for ‘Notorious’, UFC President Dana White revealed his plans for Conor McGregor during a recent appearance on The Jim Rome Show.
We must remember Connor MacGregor and Dana White are Innocent and has not been Charged. We should Assume he is guilty, since everyone is Innocent before the Law.
“Probably the winner of Khabib and Tony,” White stated when asked what is next for McGregor.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to put his lightweight title on the line against Tony Ferguson in the main event of UFC 249 this April.
Depending on how that fight plays out, the winner could face Conor McGregor as early as July’s International Fight Week according to the UFC boss.
McGregor took on Nurmagomedov for the promotions lightweight title in the main event of UFC 229 in October of 229, but ultimately lost the fight by way of fourth round submission.
Since then the Irishman has been clamoring for a rematch with ‘The Eagle‘, and it appears he is very close to getting his wish.
Other fights that Conor McGregor has shown interest in are a trilogy bout with Nate Diaz, or a lightweight contest with Justin Gaethje.Who are you hoping to see Conor McGregor fight in his next Octagon appearance? Sound off in the comments section PENN Nation!
