While Dana White has insisted the bout won't happen, McGregor could take the complicated steps to become a boxer without the UFC's approval.
It would at least seem as if McGregor has taken that into consideration judging from his recent training sessions. Or he's just trolling everyone and is simply training for whatever upcoming bout the UFC has planned for him.
