Dana White confirms Conor McGregor out for a 12 months as pair reunite over Facetime for first time since UFC 329

Conor McGregor FaceTimed his way into Madison Square Garden tonight to talk with Dana White for the primary time since his horror injury.

Throughout the weeks since UFC 329, White has evaded questions on the long run of his star man’s next move as he heads into the last fight of his deal. He insists that the considered one other McGregor fight is behind his mind, despite breaking records for viewership and live gate together with his return.

Dana White and Conor McGregor reunite over FaceTime at Zuffa Boxing

Tonight’s Zuffa Boxing event was an enormous hit for Dana White as Edgar Berlanga and Richardson Hitchins each scored big hometown victories in Latest York City. It was a star-studded affair, with the likes of Islam Makhachev and Nico Ali Walsh in attendance amongst a bunch of celebrities.

Nevertheless, perhaps probably the most newsworthy man of the night was in attendance on the phone. Conor McGregor is currently in California recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered within the opening exchange of his UFC 329 rematch with Max Holloway, and decided to FaceTime in.

Speaking on the post-fight press conference, White appeared as frustrated as ever to discuss McGregor when he was asked to react to videos of the Irishman doing leg exercises despite suffering such a severe injury.

“I do not know,” White replied before revealing that “we had him on FaceTime tonight ringside.” He also declared that “Conor McGregor is out for a 12 months.” When there was confusion over who would ask the subsequent query, the UFC boss joked that the flow had been hurt by being asked about McGregor.
