- UFC. Marlon 'Chito' Vera sends scary warning to thieves who broke into his house
UFC legend Chael Sonnen ed a video to his YouTube channel on Friday breaking down why Conor McGregor has not returned to the octagon since 2021 when Dustin Poirier defeated him twice in just a matter of months.
Sonnen, 46, speculates that UFC president Dana White doesn't want to give McGregor a main event and instead wants to use him as a springboard for another fighter.
"That is a fascinating topic as to why, what is the delay [behind McGregor's comeback]. It's a very fascinating subject that we don't seem to have the answers, so I've given you my speculation," Sonnen said. "My speculation is he's a co-main event. That's my speculation."
McGregor, 35, recently said he has "lost motivation," which Sonnen interprets as him saying the UFC is not on his side and can't book a fight.
Conor McGregor might never fight again
White, 54, recently said money complicates things when it comes to setting up a fight for McGregor, who he believes might never fight again.
"Conor McGregor doesn't need money," White said at the UFC 298 postfight press conference. "I don't know [if he fights again]. Conor McGregor has a lot of money. Any time we get Conor, we'll be thrilled when he comes and fights.
"Money complicates a lot of things. He just filmed a movie. He's gotta do the press for the movie and he's got obligations with that. He does wanna fight this year but we'll see what happens."
