Conor McGregor and Jon Jones’s friendship is a long-standing one. The duo has been with each other since the days of their glory it and seems their friendship is still intact. Conor McGregor is trying his best to make a return but the UFC admin is a bit reluctant to let McGregor fight for now. Nevertheless, you can take McGregor out of MMA but you can’t take MMA out of McGregor and even Jon Jones agrees with the statement.

While waiting for his approval for a comeback, Conor McGregor is seemingly catching up on some well-deserved family on his yacht. Interestingly, in a recent video, McGregor can be seen giving instructions to a fight from his yacht. Here’s the whole story!

Jon Jones approves Conor McGregor’s fighting spirit

Jon Jones is the current heavyweight champion of the world, however, a pectoral injury ahead of his clash against Stipe Miocic has sidelined him from the octagon. It’s kind of funny to consider that Conor McGregor and Jon Jones are sidelined from the UFC due to some reasons. However, you may take UFC out of these fighters but you can’t take fighting from them.

A recent video of Conor McGregor is making rounds on social media where it can be seen that Conor McGregor is having the time of his life with his kids. ‘Notorious’ was seen enjoying his time on a yacht, however, what intrigued the MMA community and Jon Jones is that, despite being away from the sport, Mcgregor still carries on its remnants. The former dual-weight champion was seen advising from the yacht to a fight happening nearby.

The video got the attention of Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. The heavyweight champion of the world took to his Instagram handle to add a comment about McGregor’s advice. Jones wrote, “That’s called passion”. Nonetheless, there’s no definite date for McGregor’s return. Even the CEO, Dana White stated that they are planning a McGregor-Chandler fight in the fall. “Eventually,” White said. “Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall, (that we can) get it done in the fall,” said Dana White in The Pat McAfee Show.

But why the delay? Is Dana White hiding something? Well, Chael Sonnen has come forward to clear the doubts of the MMA community. Let’s get into it.
