Dana White has put a spanner in the works of a Croke Park Conor McGregor title fight.
The UFC supremo attended last night’s Boston Celtics game ahead of Fight Night 59 at the Celtics’ TD Garden later tonight.
If McGregor is victorious, he will get a title shot against Brazilian Jose Aldo, with many hoping the fight will take place in either Croke Park or the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
White gave an interview to a Celtics reporter in which he labelled McGregor the UFC’s ‘most marketable fighter’, but when asked if a potential title fight against division kingpin Aldo, who was also courtside last night, could be brought back to Boston, he replied: ‘No, that one’s gonna be in Vegas.’
There’s plenty in the ten-minute interview, but the relevant section is at 3:15.
