UFC President Dana White will not make Conor McGregor vs. Frankie Edgar
Dana White Esther Lin, MMA Fighting The word of the UFC’s biggest star isn’t enough to sway promotion president Dana White.
White on Thursday said he won’t abide Conor McGregor’s recent order to make a fight with Frankie Edgar, arguing the former lightweight champ hasn’t earned the opportunity.
Not only that, White told the Boston Herald, but Edgar’s recent decision to move to the bantamweight division ruled him out.
“That Frankie Edgar isn’t going to happen,” White said. “Frankie is two weight classes below him. (Edgar) is in a position; he was supposed to fight Aljamain Sterling, and Aljamain fell out and got hurt.
