The UFC holds like 50 events a year and Mcgregor will only be in like 3 of them. He is popular and will make them a little more money but it's only a drop in the overall bucket. You don't challenge billionaire Vegas business men publicly when they own you.
Mcgregor got too big for his britches and the UFC had to show him and every other fighter who is boss. By crushing Connor now they preemptively win any other Diva wars enders game style.
Mcgregor is 2 losses away from it all collapsing and the UFC knows this. He doesn't have the resume to withstand losing the belt and all his trash talk will backfire in his face.
