Dana White heaps praise on Conor McGregor
Dana White recently opened up about his relationship with Conor McGregor and praised the Irishman for his conduct.
Despite the speculation that the promotion isn't on the best of terms with the former two-division champion due to his contact having only two fights remaining, that doesn't appear to be the case. While speaking to Lex Fridman, the UFC CEO mentioned that he has an excellent relationship with McGregor. He said:
"There's literally no ugly. Conor McGregor has been an incredible partner to work with...If Conor showed up to things on time, there couldn't be one fu**ing bad thing I could say about Conor...If Conor McGregor showed up to sh*t on time - and sometimes he does - he's been a great partner. If you look at what a huge superstar he became, the fights he was involved in...Conor was as solid a guy as you could possibly work with." [50:32 - 51:55]
