McGregor will return to in-ring action after a two and half year hiatus after he suffered a broken leg during a fight against Dustin Poirier. The fight proves to have a lot of promise in a must watch welterweight bout.
White Takes Shots At Espinoza
Another fight promoter, Stephen Espinoza, had a long-time rivalry with UFC president Dana White and stated UFC has never done a $20 million gate in its entire history. Espinoza also explained how his Paramount had several $20 million gate events. White and Espinoza have been at odds ever since they co-promoted the boxing match between Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. In the press conference after UFC St. Louis, White clapped back at Espinoza saying, “Who gives a flying f*ck what Espinoza thinks, pardon my language. Where is Espinoza? Who gives a s*it?.”
