Another day, another look at just what Conor McGregor is up to. According to TMZ, the Irishman was in Los Angeles Wednesday, meeting with Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta for a nice dinner so they could bring their heads together in order to hash out what’s next for the UFC’s biggest star. According to eyewitnesses, everything seemed to go swimmingly, and bro hugs were exchanged. On Thursday, McGregor confirmed that the dinner went well, and told ESPN that communication with the top of the UFC was back on track and seemingly any rift formed from McGregor’s UFC 200 fallout has been repaired.
“I met with Dana and Mr. Fertitta, good conversation like it always is. We have a good relationship. It is what it is. It happens. This is the fight game. Sometimes emotions get into it but it’s important to recognize that emotions have no place in business.
“So that’s essentially what it was last night. We just set it aside. There’s no place for emotions in this. We are doing beautiful things so let’s continue. Let’s fix it and continue.”
Continue, indeed. When will Conor have his next fight? UFC 202? Or will he wait until New York for UFC 205? And will his next fight still be against Nate Diaz, or will he finally be defending his featherweight belt with Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar set to fight for the interim featherweight title at UFC 200?
