UFC's White: Mayweather-McGregor is Not Even Close To Done

By TMZ

Contrary to some of the rumors going around in the last few days, a cross-sports mega-fight between former division world champion Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor is not even close to happening, according to UFC President Dana White.

With the UFC honcho recently vowing to try to make it happen, we asked Dana if there's been any movement -- but the answer ain't what we were hoping for.

White recently revealed that he's been speaking with Mayweather's handlers about doing the fight.

Last month, Mayweather announced that he was coming out of retirement for a fight with McGregor. Mayweather, 40-years-old, retired from boxing back in September of 2015.

Rumors began to run wild a few days ago, when McGregor announced on the social networks that his next fight will be announced very shortly. McGregor has primarily been training on his boxing skills in the last few months.

“I think it’s progressing but nowhere near being done,” said White. “It’s not even close to being done. If we were close, I would tell you we were close. We’re not even close.”

Then again, we probably shouldn't expect much until after Conor's baby is born -- Dana has previously said they have plans to meet up after McGregor's girlfriend gives birth.

We also talked to White about Ronda Rousey -- and he reminds us that she hasn't officially retired yet. Rousey, coming off a one year layoff and a knockout loss, was destroyed in the first round last December by UFC champion Amanda Nunes.

Still, he doubts she ever fights in the Octagon again ... telling us she's made a ton of money in her career and is finally enjoying it.

“I don’t think so,” White said. “She hasn’t retired. She hasn’t told me she’s retiring. But I don’t think [she’s coming back].”
