After UFC President Dana White announced that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor would be making the jump to lightweight to fight Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight strap at UFC 205<\/a> on November 12th, the UFC President revealed that McGregor would be making a “personal” announcement, “out of left field” following the fight. <\/a><\/p>\n

While there had been no word as to what McGregor’s big announcement would be, and Irish newspaper printed an article last month with information from McGregor’s camp stating that the champ would be taking over a year away from the Octagon following the fight in order to spend time with his girlfriend, Dee Devlin. <\/a><\/p>\n

\"conor<\/a><\/p>\n

While there has been radio silence from McGregor and his camp regarding the announcement, and what it will be, McGregor was recently asked about the situation by SportingNews<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re absolutely crazy to even mention the Irish Mirror. \u201cWho even is that? They don\u2019t know sh*t about me or what I\u2019m doing. Stay tuned for what I\u2019m announcing, but don\u2019t be listening to people like that. People like that know nothing about what\u2019s going on here. I\u2019ll reveal all in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know whether you can take time off with this career. I\u2019ll just stay working and stay creating history. Stay changing the game. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing since day one. Now we\u2019re close to the New York debut, Madison Square Garden. We\u2019ve broken the Muhammad Ali-Frazier attendance record of 21,000 – I\u2019m hearing that. We\u2019ve broken the gate record of $14 million set by Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. So they\u2019re two amazing contests and historical fights and I broke them both.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll continue changing the game and putting it onto that next level like I\u2019ve been doing since day one. That\u2019s my plans.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
