The UFC has banned McGregor from fighting Paul

"The UFC made it clear they weren't interested. The contract was on the table, in writing. Both athletes are under the TKO banner, the UFC and WWE are on the rise. TKO's stock price is off the charts, the new market in India has opened up and is showing growth. It was a good business decision and a meaningful opportunity to fill the gap before I return to the octagon, but the UFC said 'no'."
