UFC President Dana White and Conor McGregor have done great business while boosting the UFC to new heights. White has put in a tremendous effort as a promoter in helping McGregor display his talents and showmanship. Therefore, he did not throw his biggest asset under the wheel in light of recent controversial allegations.

Conor McGregor’s road to UFC return started in season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter. The Irishman returned for a second stint in the show against supposed future opponent Michael Chandler. As the filming for the season started, allegations of McGregor’s favoritism took center stage. Several sources, including UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns, accused McGregor of cutting original participants to make room for his own guys.

Now the UFC head honcho himself has addressed these concerns. While his response may not be soothing to McGregor’s critics, the Irishman can sleep well, knowing that his boss has got his back.

Dana White comments on Conor McGregor TUF accusations

Speaking to the media after UFC Vegas 70, Dana White addressed several topics. The 53-year-old also had to attend to a question about the allegations raised against Conor McGregor for showing favoritism on TUF.

Responding to the query, White said, “I’ve no idea. Who gives a sh*t?… You’re trying to get guys to commit to coach and you know. To do the coaching commitment, especially when you live in Ireland. You know what I mean? Yeah, Conor’s gonna get some things that he wants.”
