Conor Mcgregor Dana White Photo Comparison

Las Vegas, NV – Former UFC middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen recently made a striking comparison between Conor McGregor and UFC president Dana White. In a side-by-side photo that surfaced on social media, Sonnen claimed McGregor looked at least 10 years older than White, who is 55.

Sonnen discussed the image during a segment on ESPN, saying, “I swear to goodness, Conor looked 10 years older than Dana White. You could see it in the eyes.” He pointed to signs of substance use, adding that McGregor appeared as if he was eager to fight, but facing challenges from his promoter.

“You’ve got a promoter who’s the only one with the legal right to make it so that you can fight, and that promoter is standing there saying, ‘We’re not even close, I’m not even taking his calls right now,’” Sonnen noted.

McGregor, who turns 37 in July, has been inactive in the octagon for an extended period due to injuries and personal issues. Despite this, many fighters in the UFC continue to call for a fight against him, highlighting his historical draw and competitive nature.

“When you find guys jumping up and down in the background saying, ‘Pick me, choose me,’ how far has your career fallen?” Sonnen questioned. “When you sit at home over social media begging for an opportunity from a guy who looks older than the guy next to him that’s got him by a decade.”

UFC fans have been eagerly waiting for news about McGregor’s return to the sport, but White has been cautious, recently commenting that discussions around McGregor fighting again remain ongoing. There are no confirmed plans for McGregor’s comeback, leaving fans in suspense about the former champion’s future.
