Conor McGregor is all over the news lately. The Irish superstar was first involved in allegations of “indecent exposure” while in France earlier this month. In another instance, ‘The Notorious’ took to Twitter to reveal why he retired.
On Twitter, Conor McGregor posted a Tweet aimed at Diego Sanchez saying that he wanted to fight him, but the UFC did not allow this to happen. He further attached screenshots of private conversations with UFC president, Dana White. The screenshots of the conversation showed the two men speaking about potential bouts for McGregor.

Conor McGregor and Khabib will not be on The Ultimate Fighter, Dana White confirms
Dana White recently did an interview with Barstool Sports where the host asked, “Khabib recently said that you know, an offer was made for him to host The Ultimate Fighter with Conor.
