Dana White, Conor McGregor, and Floyd Mayweather robbed the bank with a boxing showdown between an undefeated boxing legend with a 49-0 record and two decades in the sport against a fighter with no boxing experience at all.
However, before the fight happened, Mayweather was firing shots at ‘The Notorious’. In a comment made by Mayweather, the boxer suggested slapping the Irishman.
After Mayweather’s comment, TMZ asked Dana White to express his views about the same. Though the UFC President appreciated the undefeated boxer‘s achievements inside the ring, his comments about McGregor didn’t sit well with him.

White said, “Let me tell you what, you’ve met, you interviewed Floyd, right? You had to aim the camera down here, right? He’s about this tall, okay? His hands are like peanut brittle, he has to wrap them a million times, so he doesn’t break his hands.”
White continued his rant, “Floyd better hope, he doesn’t run into Conor on the street. Let me tell you what Conor, not only Conor will kick his a** They’ll kick the sh*t out of every one of his security guards too.”
The UFC President was extremely confident about the UFC double champion‘s chances against Floyd and said, “100 percent, one hundred percent. I would love to be there when Floyd tries to slap Conor McGregor.”
