Donald Cerrone Addresses What’s Delaying Conor McGregor Fight

Donald Cerrone addresses what’s delaying his rumored fight against former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor. This is a bout that has been speculated to take place on July 6th as part of International Fight week in Las Vegas, Nevada at the T-Mobile Arena.

Longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan revealed the problem comes down to the position of the card as he’s heard the UFC wanted to place them in the co-main event. He shared the news on his most recent podcast with former UFC star Brendan Schaub.

While doing a recent interview with with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Cerrone confirmed that part of the delay is due to McGregor not wanting to be in the co-headliner spot.  

“Conor won’t fight unless it’s a main event,” Cerrone said. “I don’t know if it’s an ego thing or a status thing for him. I don’t give a sh*t. I’ll fight anyone, anywhere, and I stand by that all the time. I guess he’s a prima donna and only takes main event spots, I don’t know.”

“I’m more annoyed that he went radio silent after putting it out. I get it, you want to stay relevant by putting it out there, but then you can’t go radio silent. Sack up, bitch. Sign the f*cking paper.”
