“We’re going to mow them down” – Conor McGregor personally demands that Dana White and the UFC sign young Irish boxer Danni McCormack

“We’re going to mow them down” – Conor McGregor personally demands that Dana White and the UFC sign young Irish boxer Danni McCormack

Conor McGregor has challenged UFC CEO Dana White! The Irishman has been out of the Octagon since 2021, but recently expressed his support for Danny McCormack to be signed by the promotion. The Irish MMA fighter has torn apart her competition with a ferocity reminiscent of McGregor’s own rise in the world of MMA.

McCormack trains at SBG (Straight Blast Gym) Ireland, the same place that made “The Notorious” a “champion of champions” in the UFC. Conor McGregor’s enthusiasm for McCormack is palpable, as he asked Dana White to bring her to the UFC and allow her to showcase her skills in the premier mixed martial arts organization in the world!

Road To UFC is a tournament that offers MMA fighters the opportunity to make their dream of fighting under the UFC flag come true. Bellator and Invicta FC veteran Danni McCormack took on Yan Qihui and took another step towards the UFC with a grueling points victory over the Chinese fighter.

What’s next for the Irish WMMA star? In her post-fight interview, she made it clear that “…in the UFC in my own division, strawweight. After I beat the Chinese girl first, I have another one in mind, and she has a gold belt. That’s my number 2. I’m not going to stop until I get that strawweight title fight, so give me a contract.”

Conor McGregor, who is not known for mincing his words, shared a video of McCormack’s post-fight interview on X and stated: “THIS IS A PROMO! I’m here right now to beat and maul the much bigger girl.” McGregor’s passion didn’t end there.

He continued to make his point with a zeal that has become his trademark, challenging Dana White with the words: “…announces her signing brother, this is magic! @dannimccormack! FORGED ARMY! 🇮🇪 We’re going to mow them down fucking!”

The question now is whether Dana White will heed McGregor’s call and allow this Irish warrior to unleash her fury on the UFC stage. Because according to one UFC veteran, it doesn’t look like Conor McGregor will be returning to the Octagon anytime soon!

“The Immortal” believes McGregor could be “finished”

The MMA world is eagerly awaiting Conor McGregor’s return, but it looks like 2024 will pass without “The Notorious” stepping into the cage. Despite the Irishman’s recent claims that he wants to fight in December, UFC boss Dana White has clarified that “At this point, I don’t think Conor will fight this year.”

Does this mean fans should stop waiting for McGregor? Matt Brown seems to believe so. In a recent episode of “The Fighter vs The Writer,” Brown shared that “I’ve been saying it for a long time now. How many years have I been saying it? He’s done. I don’t rule out that there’s a chance he’ll come back, but the chances of that are much smaller than the chances of him not fighting anymore. I think his chance of coming back is about 20 percent.”

In summary, while McGregor’s return to the Octagon is becoming increasingly unlikely, his focus has shifted to supporting the next wave of Irish fighters like Danni McCormack. As McGregor calls for their signing, one cannot help but wonder: is a new “Irish Invasion” imminent if Dana White gives in to the demands of “The Notorious”? Will Conor McGregor return to the Octagon anytime soon? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
