“Like I tell you guys all the time, just when you think the world’s about to get normal again, it gets even nuttier. So we’ll see how it works out. You keep asking me questions like, ‘Will Conor McGregor fight for the title when he comes back in the fall?’ I don’t know what’s going on in the fall. When the fall comes, we’ll see what’s happening. ‘If Petr Yan cannot get into the country?’ I have no idea what’s going to happen with Russia and all these other things. I don’t know.”

It is not easy for White to deal with so many things at the same time, as the situation continues to develop. Do you think all the fights will go down as planned?
