Conor McGregor confirma regreso en julio excluyendo cartel de la Casa Blanca

Conor McGregor ha declarado que no peleará en el próximo evento de la UFC en la Casa Blanca y en su lugar planea regresar en julio. El luchador irlandés se esperaba previamente que se enfrentara a Michael Chandler el 14 de junio, pero ahora anticipa un combate el 11 de julio en peso wélter. El CEO de la UFC, Dana White, anunciará la cartelera de la Casa Blanca sin McGregor.

Conor McGregor abordó las especulaciones sobre su próxima pelea durante una aparición en Smash Cast, aclarando su situación de cara al anuncio de la UFC sobre la Casa Blanca. Confirmó que no encabezará el cartel programado para el 14 de junio en el césped delantero de la residencia del presidente Donald Trump, donde se le había vinculado a un combate contra Michael Chandler. «Como sabía, era la Casa Blanca», dijo McGregor. «Estaba dispuesto para la Casa Blanca. Sé que la administración apoyaba fuertemente que estuviera en la Casa Blanca. Era McGregor contra Chandler. La historia estaba armada; Chandler es un gran tipo, es eléctrico en la jaula.»
