Daniel Cormier doesn’t think Conor McGregor fights again.
Upon hearing that the UFC plans on holding an event at the White House next July 4 in Washington D.C., McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has re-entered the drug testing pool and expressed interest in competing again.
McGregor posted recent videos and images of him training, but Cormier isn’t buying any of his comeback talk.
“It’s over (for him),” Cormier said of McGregor on “Club Shay Shay.” “This dude Conor McGregor, he is tripping. He made way too much (money). He went from plumbing to making – he sold that liquor (company) for what, $500 million? It’s too much. He got $100 million for fighting Floyd (Mayweather), then he was doing pay-per-views like nothing. Him and Khabib (Nurmagomedov) did 2.5 million pay-per-view (buys).
“He made too much money. Conor says he wants to fight all the time, and everybody jumps to it. But it’s like, he wants to stay relevant, he wants to stay in the news, he wants the notoriety of being Conor McGregor without having to be Conor McGregor. That kind of sucks because when he was the man, I bet you tapped in. I bet you tapped into the UFC more than ever because he could sell a fight.”
It’s been more than four years since McGregor last fought when he broke his leg in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 last June, but withdrew due to a broken pinky toe.
