UFC president Dana White poured cold water on the talks and revealed that he is targeting a return for McGregor in the UFC next year. Reports initially emerged from FightHype that the pair were holding talk over a rematch of their crossover clash.

More than four million people bought the pay-per-view with the fight generating revenue in excess of $600 million in total. The fight was originally billed "The Money Fight" and "The Biggest Combat Sports Fight In History" and it certainly delivered, with the event ranking as the second-highest purchased pay-per-view in fighting history only behind Mayweather's showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
