During a recent interview, the UFC president Dana White was asked about the possibility of Conor McGregor appearing in WWE RAW. The UFC President did not deny the possibility but offered a comprehensive answer. White remarked, “Not really. I mean, it’s happened before, even when the relationship isn’t what it is now.”

He then added, “If you have a scenario where somebody is that good and could go over to the WWE, it’s gonna happen.”
