‘How Much Money Have You Got’ – When a 16-Year-Old Conor McGregor Had Dana White’s Attention

Ever since Conor McGregor became the UFC’s biggest cash cow, Dana White and the Irishman has had a well-documented relationship. However, what most wouldn’t know is that the first confrontation between the two came when McGregor was merely 16-years-old. Despite being a teenager, he captured the attention of the UFC supremo.

McGregor will return to the UFC Octagon later this month when he will rematch Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. McGregor has already defeated the former interim champ back in 2014. It was in the lead-up to this fight that McGregor told ESPN about his first run-in with White.

“When I was 16 years old, I was at my first UFC event as a fan. After the event, Dana stays and takes pictures with the fans. I ran down to the railings and I seen Dana and I was like, Dana, Dana.”
