Conor McGregor sides with UFC over Francis Ngannou dispute: ‘Look at all he got, I thought he made an error’

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has shared his thoughts on the infamous contract dispute between former undisputed heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou and the organization – claiming the Cameroon native made an “error” in how he handled the situation.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, recently wrapped up filming on The Ultimate Fighter 31 earlier this week – with the Dubliner serving as an opposing coach on the reality television show against lightweight contender, Michael Chandler.

Expected to fight the Missouri native later this year, McGregor has yet to return to the USADA testing pool in order to make himself eligible to make a return to the Octagon, however, a potential September matchup between the duo has been floated by the promotion.
