Morning Report: Dana White expects Conor McGregor’s next fight to be in the UFC against the interim lightweight champion

While the world seems to be slowly convincing itself that the oft-rumored superfight between UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and undefeated boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. is soon to be a reality, there’s one man who isn’t biting, UFC President Dana White.

As far as can be discerned, there have been no official talks of any kind between the two parties but there has been a tremendous amount of media posturing from both McGregor and Mayweather. The ever-present nature of their trash talk has led to wide spread speculation that the fight is now an inevitability, with mainstream outlets even picking up a report a couple of weeks ago saying that the fight had already been agreed to.
