The UFC president and the promotion’s biggest star fell out last year over the latter’s inactivity. Conor McGregor wanted to fight three times in 2020, but the pandemic intervened. Dana White could not give Conor McGregor the opponents he wanted either. Disgruntled, The Irishman had leaked screenshots of private messages and took an accusatory tone towards Dana White. He also announced his retirement from the sport, yet again.
However, things are resolved now between the two of them, Dana White recently revealed in an interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. He also said that from what he can tell after his conversations with ‘The Notorious’, the “real” Conor McGregor is back and is here to stay.
If something causes Dustin Poirier to withdraw from their UFC 257 fight right now, Conor McGregor would still fight whoever UFC offers him, said Dana White. That is the mindset The Irishman is at the moment.
Dana White: I was really upset with Conor McGregor
It is all cordial between Dana White and Conor McGregor now, but back when they had their disagreement, the UFC chief was really upset with the former two-division champion. At that time, Dana White even said that releasing the private conversations and dragging other fighters’ names into it was “one of the dirtiest things you can do”.
