Dana White looking for someone other than Conor McGregor to fight Cowboy Cerrone

Although Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone seemed to indicate that a fight with Conor McGregor was closing in for July 6 in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White at the UFC 236 kick-off press conference on March 1 said that they are far from booking that fight and actually looking at different opponents for Cerrone.

Dana wants an easier fight for McGregor than Cerrone. Conor hadn't won in years and another loss will hurt his drawing power pretty bad.

[brentshira]

Cowboy is not a big enough star to fight McNugget. The fight was never going to happen

[STRmw]

cerrone conor was never a good fight and cerrone is too nice to build any sort of hype for that fight. he wouldnt make as much money for it

[wilsonfilhowf]

Maybe CONOR vs DENNIS SIVER again so conor could get the W

[squirrelchaser]

So rmthat means the deal is just about done
