Conor McGregor has cast doubt on Dana White’s enthusiastic claims about a potential superfight in 2025, suggesting the UFC president may have gone overboard with his predictions.

Following UFC 309, where Jon Jones delivered a spectacular knockout against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden, White wasted no time hyping a possible heavyweight unification bout between Jones and rising star Tom Aspinall. The MMA mogul declared it could be the “biggest fight in UFC history” and one that would shatter records.

“This will be the biggest heavyweight fight we’ve ever seen—by a long shot,” White said during the post-fight press conference. “It’s going to be monumental, probably the biggest fight in UFC history.”

The announcement sent shockwaves through the MMA community, with fans eagerly discussing the potential matchup. Aspinall has spent much of the year publicly calling out Jones, though “Bones” has repeatedly dismissed any interest in the fight. Despite Jones’ reluctance, White seems confident the blockbuster clash will materialize.

McGregor, however, appeared less convinced. He shared a now-deleted reaction on social media, implying White might be overstating the fight’s potential impact. This isn’t the first time McGregor has criticized White’s projections, especially when they encroach on his own record-breaking 2018 bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov, which sold 2.4 million pay-per-views—a figure that remains unmatched.

Meanwhile, McGregor’s own fighting future remains uncertain. While White recently claimed the Irish star wouldn’t return to the Octagon until late 2025, McGregor countered that he plans to make his comeback on February 1 in Saudi Arabia.

As fans continue to await official confirmation of McGregor’s return, the debate rages on: can Jones vs. Aspinall truly surpass McGregor vs. Khabib as the biggest fight in UFC history? Only time will tell.
