UFC President Dana White strategically timed the announcement of Conor McGregor's return to coincide with Francis Ngannou's walkout to the cage for his fight. The timing of the announcement appeared designed to redirect media attention away from Ngannou's competing event and back toward the UFC. The post characterizes White as a "crafty fox" for the tactical nature of the announcement's timing. This move represents another chapter in the ongoing promotional rivalry between the UFC and competing organizations. The announcement successfully drew media focus during a key moment for Ngannou's promotional appearance.
