Conor McGregor undeniably attracts all the attention with just an appearance. ‘The Notorious’ made a wild appearance at BKFC 41 and wooed over the fighters and fans alike. He not only took hold of the microphone after the main event but also faced off against the middleweight champion, Mike Perry. Without a doubt, the entire MMA world was waiting to see his next move.

Recently, the act was visited by Robbie Fox and Dana White during a conversation on the My Mom’s Basement podcast. Although Fox seemed to assume that White would be upset over McGregor’s turn towards bare-knuckle fighting, White’s response was completely opposite. However, the UFC boss didn’t back away from putting the blame on the Irishman’s whiskey, Proper 12.

The ‘Mystic Mac’ recently graced the BKFC arena with his presence. After Perry defeated Luke Rockhold and wore the belt, McGregor climbed into the ring and faced off against ‘Platinum’ Perry before taking the mic. Later, he was seen downing a bottle of Proper 12, which garnered even more attention from his peers as well as the fans.

The UFC president, howbeit, was apparently unaffected by the Dubliner’s crusade beyond the walls of the UFC. During a recent interview with Robbie Fox, on My Mother’s Basement, White was asked about his opinion on McGregor facing off against a BKFC fighter while putting the BKFC title on his shoulder. White said, “Yeah, I think that Conor went out and was having fun, and got caught up in the moment. And you know, the dude called him into the ring and you know, he did it. I also saw him pounding a bottle of Proper 12. I’m sure that probably had something to do with it, too.”
