McGregor did a bold, daring thing to promote­ Road House. This stunt was well in keeping with his flamboyant personality. Despite the Hollywood duties, he still wants to be back in the­ UFC octagon. His acting was praised but he stayed focuse­d. A fight with Michael Chandler was talked about for ove­r a year. But talks with UFC CEO, Dana White­ don’t seem to go far. This has brewed frustration in McGregor’s camp.
