Dana White believes the winner of the UFC 329 main event on Saturday will have a bevy of directions available.

Conor McGregor is readying up for his return fight after being away from pro MMA competition for five years. He’ll meet an old foe in Max Holloway, who he defeated all the way back in 2013. It’s a significant event that figures to have major implications for the winner of the welterweight headliner.

White knows what’s at stake, and he told The Mac Life that he has several ideas regardless of who emerges victorious inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (via MMAJunkie).

“Anything is possible if he wins on Saturday night,” White said. “Whoever wins on Saturday night it’s a big win and a big step up in their careers, especially at this point in time. These are two guys that have done it all. I’ve got like five scenarios in my head if Conor wins, and I’ve got like three for Max if Max wins. So, it’s huge for both of them.

“The thing that I love about the sport is, like, who saw the White House coming? That that would happen? I didn’t see this fight coming. Last year I was telling you guys I think he’ll fight this year and he didn’t so then I was thinking he wouldn’t fight. It’s what keeps this thing fun is, we have an idea of what the rest of the year looks like, but things will happen that we don’t see coming.”

This will be Holloway’s first bout at 170 pounds, but not many pundits feel he will stick around in the weight class whether he wins or loses this weekend. While a UFC lightweight title fight can’t be ruled out, Charles Oliveira is ahead of “Blessed” on the pecking order after defeating him back in March.

As for McGregor, many feel his days at 155 pounds are over. The “Notorious” one has been trading barbs with reigning lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, however. If McGregor’s return to the Octagon goes the way he’s planning, then his next outing will be quite the story to follow.
