UFC just dropped its new merch, and it looks like Dana White favors Maxx Crosby because he just ended up on the good books and got himself some new UFC drip. Who knows when the Raiders DE might give up on his football career and take up combat sports? He got the physique for it. His inner Conor McGregor might just come out after this gift from Dana White.

Speaking of McGregor, it seems like he even fell short of receiving the gift that the UFC head honcho revealed after the UFC 300 press conference. Crosby getting the gloves before the UFC Champion makes it even more special. He took to Instagram and thanked the President of the UFC.

“Dana White, you are the GOAT, my brother. I appreciate you. Fire! I might be fighting tonight you never know. You’re the man bro!” said Crosby as he captioned the story, “Love You Brother @danawhite.”

The Pro Bowl DE has deep ties not only with Dana White but also with the whole UFC. He recently went to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas to raise money for local and national charities through his Maxx Crosby Foundation. He was there with the Raiders HC Antonio Pierce and the owner Mark Davis.

But his ties to UFC are deeper than knowing its owner and raising money for the struggling ones. Turns out, he is interested in fighting himself and has a huge respect for Sean Strickland.

Though Crosby got his hands on the latest UFC gear, as mentioned above, McGregor didn’t get it yet and he let everyone know that he was interested.

When White took to Instagram, he had a message for the UFC fans. The gloves that he launched can be accessible to a select few fans. There are 25 of these limited-edition gloves, and the UFC President is giving away the merch to his loved ones. He’s keeping the first pair, the second one is going to Joe Rogan, and the 15, 19 and 22 numbers are going to three special fans if they follow the rules.

It’s no secret that one of those gloves got to Crosby and McGregor also wants them. He commented under White’s post, “Number 12 for the Mac!” as he subtly promoted his Proper 12 whiskey. The comment had more than 1700 likes on it. Hopefully, the UFC Champion gets what he wants soon.
