"His return will take place in the cage" - UFC President Dana White shoots Floyd Mayweather down against Conor McGregor rematch

DANA WHITE has ruled out the possibility of a rematch with Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, UFC stars.

McGregor failed to overthrow undefeated Mayweather when the two fighting juggernauts collided inside a boxing ring in 2017.

McGregor was stopped after the tenth round in sanctioned boxing.

Mayweather retired shortly thereafter at 50-0, but continued his fights inside the squared circle in several exhibition fights.

News broke this weekend about McGregor and Mayweather's negotiations for a $1billion second fight.

White, chief of UFC, says McGregor will return to fighting inside the octagon.

Since breaking his leg against Dustin Pourier last July, the Dubliner has been off-line.

White stated to The Jim Rowe Show, "Not me. I'm talking about that."

"[McGregor’s return] will take place in the cage.

"Conor is looking to return at the end of this and early next year."

White believes McGregor is best at fighting. He doesn't want to make money through movies and other avenues.

The 52-year old continued, "Conor wants to fight when I talk to him."

"Conor receives many offers for film roles and other things that could make him money.

"He doesn’t want to do that." Conor is willing to fight.

He gets paid when he fights. He loves to fight.
