Conor McGregor is getting ready to prepare for his war against Michael Chandler, as Dana White announced earlier. Both fighters are known for their excellent striking skills. McGregor has eight knockout wins in the UFC, but he looks to increase that number unofficially. Conor was at the NBA finals, where the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets were set to capture the throne. But ‘The Notorious’ looked more focused on his knockout practice.
Conor McGregor showed again his lightning-fast punch speed against Miami Heat’s mascot, Burnie. Once again, after a long time, fans and Dana White witnessed the famous left hook of the Irishman. Burnie is one of the most beloved mascots who got dressed for this NBA finale occasion. He chose to wear oversized gloves to tease McGregor returning from the interview.
McGregor then threw two punches at Burnie. The mascot was on the ground, but once the replay went viral, some were amazed to see McGregor’s action. When ESPN posted the incident on their Instagram, one of the fans commented with a question for Dana White. The user asked, “Dana Prolly gonna give him a title shot after that.”
When the UFC president got to see the clip on his Instagram timeline, he replied, “LMFAO!!!!!!!!.” McGregor has been away from the action, and Dana is also showing less interest in McGregor. Constant failure over the past 5 years has already put doubts in Conor’s future. Three of his past four fights have been the worst phases of his MMA and UFC careers.
The fighter Dana White rejected for the UFC contract have become million dollar champion
UFC’s former emerging fighter Brendan Loughnane was one of the winners of Dana White’s 2019 contender series. He defeated Bill Algeo via unanimous decision but failed to get the UFC contract signing opportunity. White didn’t look impressed with his strategy to attempt the takedowns in the final minutes of the fight.
At that time Dana White asked him “You’ve got 10 seconds left in the fight. Show us you want to win. Show us how bad you want it.” White also added “You don’t double-leg when the 10-second thing claps. That’s not what I’m looking for. If I’m wrong, he’s a free agent. Somebody else can pick him up, and according to the people who are complaining about it, it must be a big score. So, go for it.”(Source)
After that, PFL picked up the unknown gem on Dana’s advice. After leaving the UFC, Brendan joined the PFL and won the 2022 PFL tournament. From 11 fights, he secured nine wins to his name. Now he is one of the millionaires in PFL.
