Dana White has been into trouble from some starfighters as Jon Jones earlier decided to vacate the title due to contract problem and Jorge Masvidal also asked UFC to let him go due to the same issue. Now, Conor's decision to retire has put Dana and UFC in a difficult situation.
“You don’t have to fight. If these guys want to sit out and retire, if that’s what Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, and Jorge Masvidal are feeling right now, I feel you. One a certain level, I understand it! We’ve been here before, this has happened to us before, more than once too.”
