He said, “I do think that’s the fight to make. When you are talking about Conor McGregor being on the other side of this you know, two-person engagement that we have to get into. Conor’s got every opportunity on the entire planet at his disposal. Does he need to come back? Absolutely not. Does he want to come back? We don’t know. If he does want to come back, who in the heck is else do you want to be standing on the other side?”
