“I Don’t Give a F**K Who You Get”- Dana White Admits Conor McGregor Is ‘Special’ to the UFC
Follow Us
Conor McGregor has cemented himself as one of the greatest athletes in MMA history. With time, the Irishman has become synonymous with the success of the UFC. Notably, the double-champion has been part of eight of the ten biggest pay-per-view events in the promotion’s history.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that the president of UFC Dana White, being the businessman we all know, has a liking for ‘Notorious’. But the president seems to have other reasons besides money to like McGregor.
In a recent conversation with former UFC fighter Daniel Cormier on his show -The DC Check-In, White told Cormier what makes ‘The Notorious’ special. He stated, “I’ve said it in public a million times. Conor McGregor literally would fight anybody.”

Furthermore, White narrated a story involving McGregor “I am telling you when we started this thing and this guy was on his rise. Believe me, I’ve dealt with a F***in thousand fighters… this f***in kid. We’ve been in the house that he was renting and it was when Jose fell out.”
“He literally, this was what he said to us. I don’t give a f**k who you get. I am going to work out. When you figure it out, call me and let me know. Yeah, and then the Nate Diaz fight. You know, another fight fell out for him and he said let’s fight Diaz. Well, do you wanna do [catchweight], no, I don’t wanna do catchweight if I don’t fight him at his weight, it doesn’t matter. It’s Bulls**t.”
The president then stated his conclusion of the double champs case, “Conor McGregor has been that guy since the day he walked into this F**ing company.So, for anybody to point a finger and say ‘oh, this guy’s getting special treatment.’ Well, this guy’s special. This guys’ f***in special.”
When is Conor McGregor returning to the UFC?
Since then, the former UFC double-champion has preferred to remain confined to his social media handles. Where he occasionally shares his updates. Also, in typical McGregor fashion, rips apart his opponents on Twitter.
