McGregor, who has not participated in the UFC for three and a half years, was recently discussed a possible confrontation of $ 250 million with Logan in Mumbai, India later this year.
The Indian billionaire Ambani family is said to be involved in the long-awaited event, despite the fact that their involvement has never been confirmed publicly.

And although many would assume that the UFC's decision to reject the exhibition is due to their desire to reflect McGregor in an Octagon, Dailymail.com understands that White's deep aversion to Logans younger brother is the reason that this is not happens.

'There is a constant tumultuous attitude towards each other, and they have an endless feud because Jake Dana continues to address the way he treats his fighters and how they get paid.
'And as far as Dana is concerned, he thinks Jake makes the world of boxing a complete joke. He hates the popularity that Jake has received. Dana hated the Tyson fight and just hatred everything that Jake has given boxing. Dana thinks it's a complete joke. “
'Conor and Logan have put together their fight themselves. All the money and the hype would go through them, and that is a no-go for Dana, “the source continued.
