Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White has finally broken his silence on Conor McGregor … kind of.
It has been two weeks since former two-division champion McGregor lost his highly-publicized sexual assault civil case, and up until last tonight (Sat., Dec. 7, 2024), UFC and its CEO had stayed silent.
During the UFC 310 post-fight press conference (watch here), White was asked if he had a reaction about the Irish UFC superstar being found liable for sexual assault.
“What do you mean, what’s my reaction? If I had a comment, I would’ve put it out already,” White said.
He was then asked about his status with the company.
“He hasn’t been fighting here in, I don’t know how long,” White said. “If he does fight, it’ll be sometime next year.”
It was probably silly to think White would give an actual thought-out answer about McGregor, especially because his promotion was completely silent about the verdict.
Nevertheless, it seems UFC will let McGregor get away scot-free; however, he has been losing external things since losing his case, like his collaboration with the video game series Hitman and any ties he had with Proper 12.
McGregor, 36, has not competed since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021.
