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.
