Dana White Conor's Returning to UFC 'He's a Mixed Martial Artist'

Published | Updated
Dana White
BACK TO THE OCTAGON

Conor McGregor's next fight will be in the OCTAGON -- so says Dana White, who tells TMZ Sports the Irish superstar is 100% going back to the UFC to "do what we do."

We spoke with White minutes after Mayweather racked up victory #50 over Conor on Saturday -- and Dana said he couldn't be more proud of the 29-year-old fighting sensation.

"That kid went out there tonight, 0-0 in boxing ... and went 10 rounds with the best to ever do it."

White says he's not sure who Conor will fight next in the UFC -- but he's certain there will be no follow-up boxing match for Conor.

Dana's not worried about Conor going Hollywood either -- "I don't know about movies. He's a fighter, not a movie star."

Stipe Miocic Me vs. Jones?? Nah ... I Wanna Box!

Published | Updated

A Stipe Miocic vs. Jon Jones superfight ain't on the table anymore ... but was it ever??

We spoke to the heavyweight champ on the heels of Jon's failed steroids test ... and Stipe says he hadn't heard of a potential matchup with Jones till Dana White mentioned it to reporters.

"I had no idea. I was like, 'That's news to me,'" Miocic told TMZ Sports.

Stipe's not ruling out a fight with Jones down the road -- but with JJ sidelined for who knows how long, he says he's looking to pull a Conor McGregor ... and fight heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua!

Stipe would be a BIG underdog, just like Conor was against Floyd Mayweather ... but tells us he can hang with Joshua, no problem.

Dude was a Golden Gloves champ ... so never say never.

Conor McGregor may have lost the fight, but he was a champ at Encore Beach Club at Night in Vegas Saturday after the awesome battle in the ring.

Conor took the mic and told the crowd, "It didn't turn out the way we wanted but we can still party like it did."

Truth be told, it was something of a victory for Conor to go 10 rounds with Floyd, and it's pretty clear the crowd also saw it that way.

Conor danced to Biggie's "Juicy" and Fat Joe's "All the Way Up."

Awesome party.

MONEY AIN'T A PROBLEM

Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguards were so impressed with Conor McGregor after his epic throwdown with their boss ... they invited him out to Floyd's strip club!

We got Jizzy Mack and Greg after the fight ... about to hit up Girl Collection with the rest of The Money Team.

The Brixx Bros told TMZ Sports they had mad respect for how McGregor boxed ... so much they were down to have Conor come through to their after-party.

The only catch -- they say he'd still have to pay to get in.

McGregor's about to bank around $100 MIL for the fight ... so they figure $500 ain't no thang.

We're guessing Conor's got better things to do ... but the night is young.

Floyd Mayweather How's an Extra $300k Sound? Just Come Through, Bruh!

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather will be staring down several racks of cash hours after the fight with Conor McGregor -- win or lose -- 'cause clubs are throwing big bucks to get him to show his mug Saturday night.

TMZ Sports spoke with several Vegas promoters and the numbers are insane. One of them told us he'll pay Floyd $30k just to walk through his establishment ... for only 10 minutes! Another doubled that, offering $60k for a 30-minute pool party appearance on Sunday.

Sources close to Floyd tell us he already has 3 other offers -- for $50k, $80k and $100k. We're told the offers would still stand even if he loses because people would still want to chat him up.

Unfortunately for all those promoters, Floyd hasn't agreed to any of it. But we're told he WILL make some appearances besides his Girl Collection strip club party. If he accepts everything on the table -- which is logistically possible -- he could pocket a total of $320,000.

Nice bonus, bro.

Conor McGregor Irish Fans Cuss at Floyd's Kids

ROWDY CROWD

A bunch of Irish fans of Conor McGregor fired off some F-bombs at Floyd Mayweather's children -- including his 14-year-old daughter -- screaming, "F*ck the Mayweathers."

It all went down right after the weigh-in at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday ... where Floyd's kids were hanging about 30 or 40 yards from a pack of rowdy Conor fans.

You can see Floyd's 17-year-old son, Koraun, in a camouflage TMT shirt mocking the McGregor fans while they yell at the kids, including 14-year-old Jirah, 16-year-old Zion and 17-year-old Iyanna. The kids seems to be enjoying the spectacle!

The fans eventually stopped cussing and flipping the bird -- and started chanting, "Stand up for the boys in green" ... while Koraun continued to dance.

Don't worry, it didn't escalate -- probably because the kids were surrounded by Floyd's massive TMT bodyguards.
