Yesterdat Dana White appeared on The Herd talk show and talked about the recent drama with Conor McGregor, and the idea of him boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr.
White said that him and McGregor have plans to meet next week and should iron things out:
After a messy series of events in recent weeks, the UFC president said he’ll sit down for dinner next week with his biggest financial draw to chat.
“Conor and I have been talking every day,” White said on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday. “We’re gonna have dinner next week. Our relationship is great. We’re gonna put the little speed bump in the road behind us and move forward. Everything is great.”
White said McGregor is still not going to be fighting at UFC 200, but when they meet for dinner there will be a discussion when he will fight again. It seems like, from what White said, that Diaz will still be his opponent.
When Patrick asked about the fight being at UFC 202 in August, White replied, “sounds like a good idea to me.”
“McGregor is ready to fight on 200,” White added. “The thing that has made Conor McGregor a massive star and why people love him is this kid loves to fight. He’ll fight anybody, anywhere, any time. He goes in and goes for broke. His fights are exciting and fun, leading up to them, during them and after them. McGregor is ready to fight.”
