Why UFC’s Dana White Doesn’t Want Conor McGregor-Frankie Edgar Fight (via NESN)
In fact, the UFC president couldn’t sound less interested in pitting McGregor, a lightweight against Edgar, a former lightweight champion who currently fights in the featherweight class.
“So, Frankie Edgar is two weight classes below Conor McGregor,” White told NESN.com’s Michaela Vernava on Thursday. “And we have other plans for Frankie right now. That’s not the fight to make.”“Urijah Faber just came out of retirement and looked phenomenal in his fight,” White said. “We have a bunch of guys in that division right now that we’re trying to sort out and make fights for. Frankie had a fight , and his fight fell out. … We gotta see what’s next for him.
“So, for him to jump out of his weight class and go up two weight classes to fight Conor makes absolutely no sense when he could possibly be in line for another title shot.”“And then for Conor, we got Cowboy , we got Gaethje. There are guys out there who Conor could fight right now. We’ll see what happens with Nate Diaz and Masvidal next month. And the list goes on and on.”
White is in town for UFC Boston, an event the Connecticut native understandably is fired up about. From Dominick Reyes vs. Chris Wideman to Yair Rodriguez vs. Jeremy Stephens , UFC fans will have plenty to sink their teeth into Friday night at TD Garden.
