Dana White was recently on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ to promote the new season of Power Slap. During their conversation, McAfee asked White about Conor McGregor‘s Netflix documentary ‘McGregor Forever.’ The four-part series aired on Netflix on May 17 and has been receiving excellent reports. It has also been trending in the top 10 list of most-watched programs on Netflix in several locations in the days following the release.

McAfee’s co-hosts asked White if other fighters approached him for producing documentaries like this or if White himself had any such plans. The 53-year-old responded, “Well, no. Conor [McGregor] did that, you know? Conor [McGregor] is a different animal. He’s a global superstar.”

Speaking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ Dana White said, “It’s not easy to just whip out a documentary and do it, but we have a doc. We’re doing a deal with Roku right now where we’re filming a documentary behind the scenes of the UFC. That will come out later this year.”
