The intense rivalry between the two is well documented. Both have even sporadically exchanged words on social media platforms.

Dana White on Conor McGregor and Hasbullah’s encounter

In an interview with ‘My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox’, Dana White addressed some of the questions pertaining to Hasbullah’s UFC contract.

The host of the podcast inquired Dana White about the contractual situation of Dagestan hailing internet sensation. Thus he asked, “When he [Hasbullah Magomedov] announced it [UFC contract], he said he signed to fight in the UFC. Is that true? Is that accurate?”

The 53-year-old looked surprised as if the question caught him off-guard. He replied, “I didn’t know this was coming. Um, but yes, we did sign Hasbullah, um, and, uh, what, what he’s going to end up doing remains to be seen.”

The host followed up with a question and asked if the Irishman called him up after the announcement. Given the history of feuds between them, this was an expected question. However, Dana White replied with a short and formal “no.

Following this, the host brought up his curiosity on the matter as Conor McGregor always has a word about Hasbullah.
