CONOR MCGREGOR IS the talk of the UFC world right now, and the organisation’s president Dana White always seems to end up talking about him one way or another.
UFC 194 on 12 December is already heavily anticipated, and the long wait for the McGregor-Aldo headline fight has certainly contributed to that.
After defeating American Chad Mendes to become UFC Interim Featherweight Champion in July, onlookers are already wondering what McGregor will do if he can overcome the stern challenge that is José Aldo.
Rumours of a Croke Park title defence next summer have been whispered if he can defeat the Brazilian in 10 weeks’ time, and White has hinted at the possibility that McGregor wants to take on former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar at some stage.
Edgar beat Urijah Faber in May at UFC Fight Night 66 via unanimous decision in a much-anticipated bout, and he is now booked to take on Chad Mendes on 11 December at The Ultimate Fighter 22 finale.
When asked whether the Irishman would ever fight Faber, White responded with a quick “I doubt it” which would seem to quash speculation that the respective TUF captains will ever face off.
Dana White was speaking with Karyn Bryant of FOX Sports Live and you can see the interview here:

That chance against Spain in the quarter finals in 02- what could have been..
Last 16….? But we should have won that…. A Korea in quarters…. Germany in semi…..
Apologies see your correction now!
Him an Ian Hart never got the ad off Pizza Hut they most definitely deserved. Wish him the best
With Holland and kilbane? Would have been a fairly packed booth!
Very good poacher. Often overlooked and unfairly ridiculed. About 20 of those 41 caps came in the last 5 or 10 minutes of games. Remember his goal v Turkey in a friendly where he ran rings around Alpay
Ya coz a country like ours (without a professional league) should be embarrassed at not reaching the q finals as a minimum.
Better than robbie keane
How does that figure?
He was good… very good imo but not international class
Correction ; The Spain game was in the rounds of 16 – doesn’t have the same ring as the quarter finals does it., still warranted a Joe Duffy welcome in the Phoenix Park which was embarrassing.
He was half decent in fairness, successful spell with feyonord…ah here he was lethal
Only average !
Martin; read my comment properly. I’m referring to the homecoming which was embarrassing- not the teams performance.
Better than Robbie Keane ha ha
