Dana White: If McGregor decides to return in September, we'll take his title off.

Conor McGregor's return to the cage is delaying, and the odds are that the world's champion in light weight will not duel and defend the title within the summer of this year, even though he has returned to gym training.

This situation has greatly exasperated the president of martial arts mix, Dana White, who through a message has declared that the Irish will be removed world champion. The statement coming after rumours that McGregor can return to the cage in September, which for the UFC is far away. So Dana White may decide that the confrontation between Tony Ferguson and Khabb Nurmagomedov, which is expected to take place in March, is no longer for the interim title, but for the champion title.

“Conor has said he intends to return in September, meaning nearly two years after the last duel. But that's not fair to others. I love Conor, I respect Conor, I appreciate everything he's done for this sport, everybody knows it and I'll always say it. But the title champion must be protected, things must move and he cannot hold it hostage that long. We're working on a duel between Khabbe and Tony, so Conor has to protect him against them as soon as possible, or they're gonna fight for the title.”, Dana White said. The Irish's last challenge in the cage dates back to November 2016, at UFC-205, when he defeated Eddie Alvarez, while the black year held a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, where he was defeated in “CO technical”.
