Despite Giving A Massive Compliment To Conor McGregor, Dana White Would Snub Him For Dwayne Johnson In Dream List

Dana White is one of the best fight promoters out there. The president of the UFC is a polarising figure but clearly knows how to run a business. His promotion is the biggest in the world for the sport of mixed martial arts. The fame and popularity of the UFC and everything associated with it come from certain stars who took the sport to the next level. Sitting at the undisputed spot on the top of that list is former UFC two-weight world champion, Conor McGregor.

However, in a recent interview with Cooper Manning, the UFC boss snubbed his biggest star and chose certain other celebrity friends for a fun time at his place.

Which list of Dana White does not include Conor McGregor?

In the interview with Manning, White showed him around his luxury abode. Dana White’s back garden impressed Manning, who is on a self-proclaimed mission to find the best backyard in America. White explained that he was going for a resort-like feel by having pools, spas, and cabanas in his backyard.

White explained that despite having a lap pool by his gym, he doesn’t really use them. He told Manning that he’d rather float on a raft than do laps in his pools.

While grilling a steak, Manning was curious as to which of White’s fighters would throw the best BBQ. White replied, “You would have to imagine Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor doesn’t do anything half-a**ed. Everything is over the top.”

While White praised McGregor, he also said that he would prefer celebrities like Halle Berry, Dwayne Johnson, and Mario Lopez over the Irishman, for a BBQ at his place.

The UFC President sheds light on McGregor’s UFC return

According to Dana White, Conor McGregor will look to return to the UFC by the end of 2022 or early 2023. White was talking to TMZ when he said that McGregor was, “starting to ramp up his training.” White said he hopes that McGregor can fight by “the end of this year, early next year.”

McGregor’s recent social media activity suggests that he is on the right track to full recovery. The former ‘champ champ’ looks to be in great shape and is getting increasingly sharper in his recent training footage. He has been kicking, punching, and grappling in the recent training videos. Once he is back to training MMA full-on, we’ll hopefully get a better idea as to his return date.

It is only a question of when McGregor returns that needs to be answered soon. There is no shortage of options for him as top stars like Justin Gaethje, Michael Chandler, and Charles Oliveira are all chomping at the bits to have a go at the Irishman.
