Manager: We are in ‘red zone’ in terms of talks between Conor McGregor and UFC

With Conor McGregor’s legal situation squared away, attention is now focused on whether or not we’ll see him back in the UFC’s Octagon for the first time since November 2016.

McGregor’s manager Audie Attar spoke to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani about the current negotiating status between the former two-division champion and the UFC, and it appears as if they’re on the brink of a new deal.

McGregor’s manager @AudieAttar told me they are in the “red zone” in terms of talks with the UFC. That is an American football term. Basically, the field is 100 yards long.
