Today at the UFC 249 press conference Dana was asked about that
Start at 10:02

I told your crazy ass dont believe everything Dana says!
I love how Tony didnt let him off the hook :lol1:
Yeah he said that because it was live and caught him off guard, in his face.
That’s why Tony and Khabib make the remark after that comment, “All of a sudden!”
Khabib already said it after the conference that Dana has been trying convince him to take the Mcgregor fight.
The UFC has already stated Conor will face the winner of Khabib Ferguson
He doesnt have to fight Gaethje to get a title shot. He already has it.
So why is he fighting Gaethje?
This is jus my opinion but I dont think Conor really wants to fight Khabib OR Tony at 155. I dont think he wants to cut the weight anymore.
Whatever happened to him being on standby for Ufc 249?
Let's keep our eye on it. If the UFC allows Conor to fight Gaethje at 170 then we know something is going on.
Also I can see a 165 lb division coming real soon to accommodate McGregor.
They don’t know what exactly to do with Conor. They want to capitalize as much as possible on his PPV sales and drawing power but they have to do it carefully. If he fights a top contender and loses right now, his stock will surely drop.
They want to keep his stock HIGH. So they either feed him another easy win like Cowboy, or they wait for the right “money fight” to throw him in so they can at least cash out big, whether he wins or loses.
Dana is expecting Khabib wins and he’ll immediately set up fight with a Khabib and Conor.
But there’s obstacles, first one being Tony Ferguson if he beats Khabib throws a wrench in that plan. Second would be Khabib doesn’t want to fight Conor.
And those are two big obstacles Dana will have trouble with.
That’s why he’s been stalling.
When are people going to understand the two are to completely different sports. McGregor wouldn’t last five rounds against Pacquiao’s constant attack. Just like Pacquiao wouldn’t survive a headlock. But it would sell a lot of tickets.
You obviously don’t watch UFC.
Conor is on standby for Khabib’s next fight if his opponent doesn’t make it for the fight. Dana just stated this yesterday
Conor is NOT going to cut down to 155 unless it's absolutely necessary. He's definitely not cutting down jus to be on standby I dont give a fck what he or Dana says
Keep watching you'll see

Everything that is discussed is just talks and negotiations.
Mcgregor fights at ONE FIFTY FIVE of it’s for a title shot, which is Dana’s and Conor’s ultimate goal. He would never fight Masvidal or Usman @ 170.
Those two would crush the Conor and deplete his money making abilities in doing so.
Conor wants a 155 title shot.
They’re waiting for the outcome of Khabib Ferguson to see how the cards play out.
And Khabib will refuse it like he’s already stated so it’s irrelevant.
Conor wants his shot at a 155 title fight. He’s not beating Usman or Jorge, no point to fight at 170. Cowboy was a gimme fight for Conor.
They’re at a stand still because Khabib isn’t having it, even if Conor wants it. That’s the problem.

They bend the rules a little bit to accommodate Conor you know this.
I believe they're going to allow the Gaethje fight to be contested at 170 but still consider it a fight between 2 lightweights as far as the rankings go. Jus like they did with Ceronne.
And Khabib will refuse it like he’s already stated so it’s irrelevant.

Gaethje is 155er, in the ranks for a TITLE SHOT @ 155.
Conor isn’t going to fight Gaethje @ 170 for a 155 title shot. Khabib said himself that the next lightweight title shot contender needs to win his next fight @ ONE FIFTY FIVE.
170 is WELTERWEIGHT.
McG would be fighting winner of USMAN and JORGE @ 170.
He don’t want that smoke, big facts.

Wrong, Gaethje is not the money maker here. He will do what the UFC says so, if its at 170 its at 170. Conor is in the drivers seat here.
Exactly!
Conor didnt want to cut weight so the UFC allowed the 2 lightweights to fight at 170 but allowed the fight to be still be considered in the 155lb division rankings
I'm thinking they might do the same with Gaethje.

NO you idiot.
Gaethje is top 5 LIGHTWEIGHT 155 if he fights Conor it'll be for a chanced at a lightweight title fight, 170 is WW you moron. Might as well fight Usman or Masvidal. Jesus Christ you're an idiot.

DANA HAS BEEN SAYING THAT SINCE LAST MONTH IMBECILE!
Conor is on standby for Khabib’s next fight if his opponent doesn’t make it for the fight. Dana just stated this yesterday
You stupid motherfcker I told you stop believing everything Dana says :lol1:
Dana White will not allow that fight to happen. White already said before that Pac-McGregor fight will only happen over his dead body! McGregor has still 4 fights left under UFC contract so its not happening. 0 chance.
dana white also said mayweather/mcgregor would happen over his dead body...when did we start believing anything promoters say?
Conor is not a big guy, only about 5’9” and he fights at 155
ONE FIFTY FIVE YOU FOOKING MORON.
CONOR FIGHTS AT 155 YOU MORONIC IMBECILE!
HE’S PLANNING TO FIGHT A REMATCH WITH KHABIB FOR THE LIGHT WEIGHT TITLE AT 155
