Dana White: Will we see Jon Jones and Conor McGregor in the Octagon again?
"Conor's 36 in July, he's got a lot of money. And who knows what's going to happen to these guys, Conor and Jones?"
Such words of UFC president Dana White make all fans of mixed martial arts think. Will we see legendary fighters John Jones and Conor McGregor again in the Octagon?
Age and wealth: the main obstacles
Conor McGregor, one of the most famous UFC fighters, will celebrate his 36th birthday in July. Having made a huge fortune from his performances and business deals, McGregor can afford not to return to the Octagon. White noted:
"Maybe they'll fight again, maybe they won't. When these guys get to that level, you never know if you'll see them in the cage again."
Upcoming fights: McGregor vs. Chandler and Jones vs. Miocic
McGregor has a planned fight with Michael Chandler ahead. This confrontation promises to be exciting, as both fighters are known for their aggressive style and unpredictable strikes. However, the rejection of this fight may support White's speculation about the possible departure of the Irishman from the Octagon.
As for Jon Jones, he is set to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic. Jones, a longtime UFC star, may also consider retiring after this fight.
Will we see them again?
The question that worries many fans: will these legendary fighters return to the Octagon? White noted that when fighters achieve that level of success, you can never be sure of their return. However, loyal fans continue to hope for new exciting fights between McGregor and Jones.
Conclusions and forecasts
If McGregor and Jones decide to retire, it will be a big loss for the UFC. However, their achievements and contribution to the development of mixed martial arts will remain in the memory of fans forever. So, regardless of their decision, fans will always be grateful for the moments they gave in the Octagon.
