"The real question - and it’s sort of a black box right now - is where’s the UFC really, on this? Do they, in fact, want it? "Dana White - speaking on behalf of, I assume, the UFC - is making noises that he’s more open to it but talk is talk. I haven’t seen a lot of progress either internally in the deal between the two of them or externally, the deal between that side and this side. “It’s largely at a standstill. There hasn’t been a tonne of progress and I think if they don’t move relatively quickly, people may move on. People may tire of it. But it really is something that needs to happen this year or it probably won’t happen."Floyd’s on 18 months, two solid years come September since he’s fought," Espinoza added. "He’s still in great shape, but at a certain point, he’s not gonna do it after a while."
Espinoza believes the UFC have a genuine concern about what McGregor's next move could be after any such fight with Mayweather. It was something Gunnar Nelson, a training partner of 'The Notorious', alluded to last week.
Espinoza said:
"I think part of the fear on the UFC’s side is that they’ll never see Conor again. "If he makes 50, 60, 70 [million] and then you never see him in the ring and he retires in Ireland and so much for their megastar."You certainly would not blame McGregor for walking away from the fight game after that but we suspect he would be already plotting his next big challenge.
