Conor McGregor has provided one more feat to keep mixed martial arts fans glued to their couch. After the release of ‘McGregor Forever’ on Netflix, the world has witnessed a rise in the fans’ entropy. The hour-long episodes of the documentary series take the world on a journey and view McGregor’s life from a different perspective.

The first episode of the documentary series showed all the tidbits about the Irishman’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov. The second episode had a different take. In this episode, the UFC president, Dana White, gave the world some insights about the fights involving ‘The Notorious’. He talked about McGregor’s fame and other businesses. However, he didn’t fall short of acknowledging him as the man who lifted the UFC to a global platform.

Dana White makes revelations about Conor McGregor’s fights

White revealed how he takes decisions about fights for ‘Mystic Mac’. He disclosed that he usually lets the fights take place, and the division plays itself out. However, as the date for a fight edges closer, the reality begins warping, and the view becomes clearer. The UFC boss admitted that the team keeps looking for the red flags that could jeopardize a fight.

He said, “The way we take every Conor fight is that you let the fight happen, you let the division play out, then as it gets closer for Conor to fight again, you see what the landscape looks like. But you know, we look at what could screw up making the fights that we wanna make. Injuries, contract negotiations, and fame.”

Then, the UFC president continued to talk about the former UFC double champion’s fame. He acknowledged the fact that the UFC star’s name is well-known across all corners of the globe. However, he also revealed that there were other commitments that competed with fighting for the Dubliner’s attention.

And, you know, there’s always something interesting and new going on with Conor. It doesn’t matter where you go in the world, everybody has heard of Conor McGregor. Conor is one of the biggest stars ever in the history of the sport, and he’s the guy who helped truly take the sport global.”
