Shortly after the TUF 28 Finale ended, Dana White spoke to the media about the status Conor McGregor. He again dispelled rumors of a potential bout with Donald Cerrone, and instead suggested a different option. He wants what would basically be a 4-man lightweight tournament next.
“The ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone fight has never, ever been discussed,” White told the assembled media. (HT: MMA Fighting) “That’s completely not true. I said the fight that makes sense right now is probably Poirier.
“Then Tony gets a shot at the title and the two winners fight each other. But I’m not sure exactly on a date when Conor is gonna fight yet. We have to get through this Nevada State Athletic Commission stuff first.”
