Current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor<\/a> stated after winning the lightweight belt from Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 that he would be taking time off from fighting<\/a> for the birth of his first child. “The Notorious” also stated that he wants to meet with the new owners of the UFC to talk business and said that if they want him to continue fighting in the Octagon to bring in the massive numbers, he wants some shares in the company.<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White spoke with the media on Wednesday ahead of UFC 207 and said that he hasn’t been thinking about McGregor ever since the lightweight champion told him his timeline to fight again.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThe last conversation that Conor and I had, he was taking 10 months off<\/a>,\u201d White said (transcribed by MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cSo everybody keeps talking. I\u2019m not even thinking about Conor. Conor is not in my plans for the next 10 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe run a business where we make fights. I know who\u2019s available, I know who\u2019s not available. Right? Conor told me, \u2018I\u2019m not available for 10 months. We\u2019re having a baby. My girl stresses out when I fight and I don\u2019t want to put that on her while she\u2019s pregnant.\u2019 I love it, I respect it, I get it. Do your thing, buddy. And that\u2019s it. He\u2019s not in any of our plans for the next 10 months.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor most recently told<\/a> RTE<\/a> in an interview that he had no idea of where White’s timeline of 10 months came from but does want to talk to new UFC owners Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell “to see what their plan is.”<\/p>\n

White said that regardless of timeline, he is waiting on McGregor to start the talks and get things rolling.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWhen Conor\u2019s ready to talk, he knows where I am,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n
