The desire of Irish fighter Conor McGregor to face Frankie Edgar at UFC 222 next week was denied by UFC management. McGregor last battled in November 2016, when he dropped Eddie Alvarez and seized a lightweight champion belt.
August 2017 he fights in the boxing ring against boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Since losing a 10th-round knockout against Mayweather, McGregor has never ridden in a ring, including the Octagon ring. In the absence of too long, McGregor is in danger of losing a lightweight champion belt, after UFC President Dana White said the belt would be contested by Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Gerguson at UFC 223, 7 April.
"I'll fight again, I'm still the best," McGregor said through Instagram account. "I signed up for UFC 222, but they said it was too late for the UFC to raise money for my performance."
Whatever the reason, I'm always ready. It is up to whether they will offer me. I'm ready. "In the face of Mayweather McGregor receives the second highest pay-per-view fee in history but insists he will not switch to a WWE that emphasizes the entertainment side Frankie Edgar is actually set to face Max Holloway for the featherweight title at UFC 222 But the 26-year-old fighter has resigned on the grounds of an injury and his position has been replaced by Brian Ortega.
