“If It’s Over Before He Gets Here, Then Its Over” – When Dana White Got Furious at Conor McGregor for His Late Arrival

UFC 202 press conference witnessed an arguably upset Dana White when asked about superstar Conor McGregor’s whereabouts. McGregor was late to the press conference yet again in peak Conor fashion. White decided to start the press conference regardless of his presence and was seemingly upset when asked about it multiple times by the reporters.

“So we’re starting without him. He has to start respecting people’s time, man. Yours, theirs, mine, theirs, David Cooperfield’s, everybody’s. We have only so much time in this room,” said White when asked repeatedly about Conor McGregor‘s presence.”

“The two have always been on good terms and built a good business partnership, but White seemed annoyed by McGregor’s late arrival. We’re having a press conference here. If it’s over before he gets here, then it’s over,” White added.

McGregor’s opponent, Nate Diaz, was already answering questions, after which he showed up. It was a very heated press conference, as the two didn’t shy away from disrespecting and taking jabs at each other. At one point, Diaz decided to get up and walk out, mid-interview. As he was exiting the arena, he was taunted by McGregor, which led him to throw water bottles at his foe.

McGregor didn’t back down and ended up retaliating by throwing back bottles toward Diaz’s team.

The Rematch And What’s Next

The rematch was exhilarating and had the fans at the edge of their seats as the two superstars gave their best inside the octagon. The rematch lived up to the hype as the two went blow for blow throughout the fight.

McGregor dropped Diaz early in the fight, but couldn’t capitalize on it. Diaz then went on to win a majority of the exchanges which took place in the championship rounds. Overall, it was a super close fight, and the judges gave the victory to McGregor (48-47, 48-47, 47-47).
