When the greatest PPV draw in UFC history announced he would be returning to the Octagon vs. Mark Hunt at UFC 200, UFC president Dana White expressed his thoughts – “It doesn’t suck.” 

“According to Brock right now, his training is going great,” said White to TMZ Sports. “He feels like a million bucks. So we’ll see what happens. The thing is, being away from fighting for awhile is tough to do.”

White also discussed the rumored McGregor vs. Mayweather boxing match.

“That ain’t happening,” said White. “It ain’t happening. MAYWEATHER has never called me once about this fight. You don’t make this fight without going through me. Plus, if we start negotiating, it starts with punches kicks and elbows. And we can either add or subtract from there, which ever way we go.

“You know how long it took for Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather to happen? And they’re in the same sport. So you can imagine … not happening.”

If FMJ does call White, certainly with the potential inclusion of kicks and elbows, the fight outcome just got more interesting.
