Dana White and David Feldman pose after a ‘Big Meeting’

The MMA community wants to oil up Dana White (jokingly of course), however, White is busy oiling up his relationship with the bigshots of the industry. The UFC 300 main event is yet to be decided by the UFC head honcho and the patience of the community is wearing thin. Amid this quizzical quagmire, Dana White met the CEO of BKFC, David Feldman. The latter shared a social media a post about a big meeting with White.

But why? The timing could not be better as UFC 300 is coming and Dana White wants to make it a blockbuster. Mike Perry was the common factor between both promotions and the rise of Perry as a dominant fighter happened after he left UFC and joined BKFC. Is there something in the works there?

Conor McGregor in BKFC?

While having an interview session with The Sun, Feldman explained that McGregor has already fought Floyd Mayweather outside his contract and the possibility of this happening is 100 %. “Look, theoretically he can’t because he’s under contract with the UFC and we actually have a great relationship with the UFC,” Feldman told The Sun.

He further added, “But I think Conor plays by a different set of rules anyway. Maybe there’s a way to partner on an event, who knows? But as far as us doing it by ourselves, I don’t think that ever happens. But maybe a collaboration? It could happen. He likes it.”
