Conor McGregor is without a doubt one of the biggest names in UFC and across all sports. Given his sizeable drawing power, he can never set a foot wrong as far as Dana White is concerned. The duo shares an incredibly close relationship. Therefore, it is no surprise that the UFC boss has a soft spot towards the Irishman. 

Despite the camaraderie shared between the two men, it appears that the relationship has soured as Conor revealed screenshots of their one-on-one discussions on social media.

Dana White slams Conor McGregor for his actions

Conor McGregor recently put out a tweet towards Diego Sanchez, wishing him well for his upcoming fight. ‘The Notorious’ added that he wanted to fight Sanchez in February in Dublin. Besides this, the Irish fighter even shed light on his status for the UFC 249 main event. In the post-fight interview following UFC 253, Dana White was asked what he thought of Conor’s actions.

The UFC President replied, “This is some man code stuff you know. It’s just something you don’t do. It’s one of the dirtiest things you can do. Which by the way you know, because we were just talking about Diego Sanchez. And Diego Sanchez is in there in a private conversation I was having with Conor. When you’re the number two and three ranked guy in the world, and you’re telling me you wanna fight unranked, 39-year-old, Diego Sanchez. In the main event in Los Angeles. Yeah.”
